Stories of a short, fat bastard.

I'm afraid I have to conclude that the news organizations
are prejudiced toward political parties:

Look at it this way:
The news organizations presented the Clinton story this way:
"Did Clinton have sex?"

That never should have been the issue. The issue *should*
have been:
"Did Clinton lie under oath in a court of law while he was
up on sexual harassment charges."

It's not the sex part that's important, it's the Lying under
Oath part.

As for the prejudices we now see, contrast the following
typical interviews I see on TV:

BBC newsreader interviewing Arab nation diplomat asking
leading questions like "With all your people protesting
the American Invasion of Iraq, how can you justify supporting
American policy?"

(I gather that the BBC's War correspondants are complaining
that the BBC is distorting reports about the war in favor of
Iraq.)

Typical FoxNews interviewer asking Anti-War Protestor,
"Under what circumstances will you change your mind and
support the war? What if they find chemical weapons?
What if they find biological weapons? What if they find
torture-rape political prisons? What about the death
squads shooting their own soldiers?"

To be frank, I'm getting pretty disgusted with the news
coverage and I find myself tuneing out or leaving the
room when it comes on. I know that's not the proper
reaction I should be having, but I have a hard time
surpressing the emotional gut reaction that says, "Get me
outta here!"
