He is a FOB -- Friend of Bill (Clinton) and gets a great deal of credit for making he and Hillary look palatable in 1991.... for example, he was behind the 60 mintutes, Hillary with headband talking about baking cookies sham.. he was in charge at CNN when Bill needed coverage for all his failures and we didn't have a FOX news to tell it like it is... Front Page Magazine had an interesting resume on this guy back when he got the MSNBC job after being fired at CNN.
I realize all those scumbags look alike after a while, but I think it was Hewitt. He bragged to them about how he helped JFK over Nixon.
It's admissions like that which buried CBS News' credibility. Nobody would ever consider those two cases of media interference in the political process "fair and balanced".
That's why Fox is kicking ass. They make the effort to be fair and balanced. As a result (1) people don't laugh at them when they say "fair and balanced" and (2) people watch.
