I watched with interest the interview with Bill and Hilary Clinton on stage as they celebrated the 25th anniversary of Bills election to the White House. Mrs. Clinton intimated that Bill had it easier than she because there was no Fox News and I totally agree. Back in those days talk radio was just getting started and most of the other press leaned left. In those days the mantra of the press was to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable, which meant to them, to go after big business which meant go after the rich republicans. As time passed big business became entangled with the big business of broadcasting and over the past 25 years polls show that trust in the press has dropped from 52% to 32%. Today the press doesn’t just report the news but picks news stories that push an agenda and this will cause further declines in their ratings.
