You're moving the goalposts.   First you said the problem was media hypocrisy, now you want to talk about abuse of power and he said she said.

On the latter - both Lewinsky and B. Clinton swore affidavits that they were not having an affair.  It was Linda Tripp and the tapes she made, without Lewinsky's knowledge, that changed the dynamic.

It was all in the media, nightly, ad naseam, which way did Little Bill face, the blue dress -- the media feeds off these things because their business is to sell product.  It's not a case of "liberal" media protecting one of their own. In fact the media, in Canada at least, is largely corporate and concerned with cutting their own taxes.

If you're angry about smeared credibility & hypocrisy - look to K. Starr, Tripp and Gingrich; imo this was a sad affair and no one other than the main players needed to know about it.  The media most certainly did not protect any of the main players. Except maybe Gingrich.
