Of the Wright revelation, the Times said: "Any biographical subject has bitter ex-friends and associates. And if they feel snubbed enough, they will talk."

Heh...the Slimes wasn't concerned about any of that when it gleefully "reported" on those hatchet-job biographies published about Sarah Palin.

Klein's book reports that in the spring of 2008, in the middle of the presidential campaign and in the heat of the controversy over Rev. Jeremiah Wright's incendiary sermons, a very close friend of Barack Obama's offered Wright a payoff if Wright would remain silent until after the November election.

The source of the story is Jeremiah Wright himself.

Outrageous bias... Shame on the New York Times.

The word “unbelievable” has lost all meaning.

Hannity has recently replayed clips of how the networks played the DUI story just before the 2000 election--some of them tried to use that story to revive speculation about cocaine use.

Someone on Free Republic back at the time the DUI story became public had a theory that the only reason the story came to light was that it was in George H. W. Bush's FBI files (remember Hillary and the FBI files in the White House in 1993)--otherwise a reporter snooping around the court house in Maine would not have stumbled on a case so old, without the lead from the FBI files. Can't be proven without someone getting a look at GHWB's FBI files, but an interesting possibility.

The point is that there must not have been anything to this cocaine story or Hillary would have known about it (from the same FBI files) and could have fed the information to Gore...assuming she preferred Gore to win.

Complaining about the double standard is pointless. It exists, like the SEIU and Teamsters routinely maiming and murdering opponents, and will never go away. It’s background noise. Let’s pay attention to things we can change.
