5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent expose, January 26, 1999

This review is from: Pattern of Deception: The Media's Role in the Clinton Presidency (Paperback)

If you ever get the feeling that the media is slanting the political playing field, this book is for you. The author calmly lays out the bias of the national media, statement by statement. Very good read...but be prepared to get angry.

This review is from: Pattern of Deception: The Media's Role in the Clinton Presidency (Paperback)

This is an excellent read. While the book is filled with facts and figures, Mr. Graham does a good job keeping the book moving along.

This review is from: Pattern of Deception: The Media's Role in the Clinton Presidency (Paperback)

Highly recommended and thorough job by Mr. Graham and company. The facts and examples are numerous and thoroughly persuasive, though I was already one of the converted upon reading this book. It is quite readable and the arguments are well-strung together, making for an easy read. I suspect that one looking on this page already has a strong opinion of Clinton and/or the media in this country, so there isn't really a need to try to argue one side or the other. Just note how CBS gave the biggest audience to Bill & Hillary after the '92 Superbowl to respond to the Gennifer Flowers controversy that threatened to sink him. We now know it was an orchestrated event by friends of Bill to rescue him. Can you imagine if Steve Kroft had followed-up Clinton's "I acknowledge I have caused pain" comment with, "so, it's all out of your system? If we elect you President American can count on a focused, determined leader whose illicit daliances are behind him?" I'd pay a MILLION DOLLARS to see Clinton's reaction to THAT question! Notice Clinton never even apologized, just "acknowledged" that he caused "pain." Don't people who cause pain apologize? Not if you're Bill, and not if you're the media powers that propped him up for 8 long, terribly painful years.
