Sean Hannity: Liberal media finally sees Bill Clinton for what he is 20 years too late
Bill Clinton
With allegations of sexual misconduct now swirling around U.S. Senate candidate Judge Roy Moore  the left and the liberal media are finally starting to take stock of their long-running defense of their favorite accused rapist and serial philanderer   Bill Clinton .
Consider the liberal publication “The Atlantic ” which has published a story with this headline and introduction: “Bill Clinton: A Reckoning. Feminists saved the 42nd president of the United States in the 1990s. They were on the wrong side of history; is it finally time to make things right?"
“The accusers of Bill Clinton back in the '90s were never given the credence and treated with the same respect that [Moore’s accusers] are being treated ” CNN’s Jake Tapper said. “And I think that there is something to be said about how society has evolved since then but  in addition  it's hard not to look back at that period and think: you know what  the media treated those women poorly.”
Members of the mainstream media are actually starting to realize that what  Bill Clinton  did was beyond disgraceful. From sodomizing an intern to groping women to the alleged rape of Juanita Broaddrick  the allegations against  Clinton  have been known for years. Those of us who objected at the time were told by these same media outlets that all of this was his personal business. It did not “rise to the level of impeachment.”
Two decades later  the biased left-wing media outlets are coming to terms with what they said and did and how they covered it all up. Paula Jones  Gennifer Flowers  Kathleen Willey and several more women have all told how they were dismissed  smeared and left by the side of the road by the  Clinton  machine and the mainstream media.
To be sure  there was a reckoning in court. In 1998   Bill Clinton  ended up paying Paula Jones $850 000 in an out-of-court settlement for her to drop her sexual harassment charges against  him . And in a related case   Bill Clinton  actually lost  his  license to practice law in Arkansas for five years. And we know  Clinton  was impeached.
But to the media   he  remained a darling and a lovable rogue. What has changed? Well  maybe the media  like so many in the Democratic Party  is finally done with the Clintons. Maybe they want to look consistent when they go after Roy Moore  whose alleged transgressions pale in comparison.
