Amid
all the discussion of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential prospects, the
single most important question is ignored: Why Hillary? How did she
become a presidential front-runner despite her never having held elective
office before she ran for the Senate, her staggering number of personal,
political, and financial scandals, and her leftist political agenda?
The answer is that she has a secret
weapon: the news media.
In Whitewash, L. Brent
Bozell III and Tim Graham of the Media Research Center, America’s largest
and most respected media watchdog organization, expose the unprecedented
media favoritism that is the real key to Hillary’s political career.
Marshalling stunning evidence compiled exclusively by the Media Research
Center, the authors show how the media have relentlessly promoted Hillary
from the moment in 1992 when Time magazine introduced her to the
country as an “amalgam of Betty Crocker, Mother Teresa, and Oliver Wendell
Holmes.”
To expose the truth about Hillary
that the supposedly objective media have buried, Bozell and Graham have
interviewed dozens of leading conservatives who are fighting to let
Americans hear the whole story: Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity,
Ann Coulter, Mark Levin, Mary Matalin, Laura Ingraham, Cal Thomas, and many
others.
Whitewash reveals:
-
How Hillary’s media allies have
rushed to pronounce her “unbeatable” and “inevitable” to counter Barack
Obama’s unexpectedly strong campaign
-
How the frequent claim that “no
one has been has been more investigated than Hillary Clinton” is not
just incorrect, but utterly absurd
-
How the media’s “Obama Mania” is
nothing compared to the fifteen-plus years of cheerleading for Hillary
-
The major news program that
recently spun Hillary’s most significant political failure—the 1993
health care fiasco—as “ahead of its time”
-
The Republican congressman who
says the Clintons “went after” him “mercilessly” for daring to
investigate Hillary scandals
-
How liberal reporters—and female
liberal reporters especially—have ignored Mrs. Clinton’s record in order
to hail her as a feminist pioneer
-
How the American people would not
have learned about virtually any of Hillary’s many scandals were it not
for the upstart alternative media
No political figure in America today
has benefited more from a water-carrying media than Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The national press long ago abandoned its responsibility to seek out the
truth. Fortunately Brent Bozell and Tim Graham have stepped in fill that
void, as they show whether this media phenomenon is fit to be president.
