Clinton v Bush poll results: Give MSM some credit

First CNN's headline:

"Poll: Clinton outperformed Bush"

Then CNN reports on a poll it commissioned:

In a new poll comparing President Bush's job performance with that of his predecessor, a strong majority of respondents said President Clinton outperformed Bush on a host of issues. [...]

Who’s surprised?

MSM regularly bashes Bush while giving Clinton gush-gush treatment as the guy who “rocks” and gave us that great economy in the 1990s.

Never mind that economic expansion was underway in the 90s before Clinton took office.

And never mind that the economy has grown significantly since Bush took office; or that we currently have a very healthy and expanding economy.

Watch CNN and believe what most of MSM tells you.

Do that and before long you’ll be telling pollsters what most Americans tell them. About the economy, for example, that it's not doing well.

Brian Williams, Katie Couric, the folks at the New York Times and the rest work very hard to make sure you have the "right" answers when pollsters ask questions.

Now back to CNN’s poll report. It ends :

Clinton was impeached in 1998 over testimony he gave in a deposition about an extramarital sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. He was later acquitted by the Senate.

Acquittal.

What a nice note CNN picks to end its report.

No mention that a federal judge cited Clinton for contempt for failing to “testify truthfully in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit.”

No mention of the court and bar association fines Clinton was forced to pay.

And certainly no mention that in October, 2001 the U. S. Supreme Court acted without dissent to disbar Clinton from practicing before the court; an action Clinton didn't contest after first saying he would.

If you're a "friend of Bill's" or a partisan Democrat, you must appreciate CNN's "acquittal" closer.

For the rest of us, it's one more example of just how blatantly most MSM spins for the Dems.
