Good point about Drudge breaking the Lewinsky story.

After the fact, we learned that the Washington Post and Newsweek had the Lewinsky story, but had been sitting on it for months! They had declined to publish that story. The reason? Because Bill Clinton was a good Democrat, and they didn’t want to go with a story which would bring him down.

Ask yourselves if the Post or N.Y. Times or any liberal outlet would have sat on an explosive story such as Lewinsky if a Republican president would have been the target.

To put a finer point on it DSD, Newsweek published the story on their website but shortly "spiked" it, but not before Drudge put the story on his website. It was because of this that many FReepers found FReerepublic via the link at Drudge, thank you very much.
