This is a marvelous article. I’d only add one comment. It wasn’t just Monicagate. It was the enormous contrast between how the allegations against Justice Thomas were handled and how, just a few years later, Clinton’s well-substantiated and much worse behavior was handled.

Both were long-term affairs in which the deep, core values of the press came out. And both demonstrate, in my mind beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the mainstream media in this country isn’t to be trusted. It isn’t bias or slated, it’s bigoted.
