The media waxes sanctimonious about campaign-finance reform, ostensibly because it will help restore honesty to politics, yet they will do nothing at the most basic level to contribute to that honesty themselves. While they once considered themselves watchdogs they now stand together in approving silence as falsehoods abound. If they had any pride in their historical role as purveyors of truth, they would investigate Bradley's charges against this man who could be our next president. Bradley has exposed Gore as an equal-opportunity offender of truth. He will say whatever he has to say to win against both Democratic and Republican opponents.
Republicans are on notice.
They'd better be ready for Gore. They won't be getting much help from the media. JWR contributor David Limbaugh is an attorney practicing in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and a political analyst and commentator. Send your comments to him by clicking here.
