Do you know why you don't know about Chelsea Clinton Dead Drunk and Panties Showing in London a couple of years ago? I'll tell you why and so will this article, it's because the news media doesn't hate the Clintons. They other than Fox wants to cover only noxious Republicans and not two time swinging Democrats.
The media in this country doesn't want you to know about Chelsea Clinton's embarassing drunken display in London because she may want a run at the socialist world of what is left of America when her mother and Obama get done with it. What if this were one of Sarah Palin's daughters? Do you think the left wing news would have had pictures for us?
"The vicious double standard is pretty obvious. Only the tabloids, for example, ran the photos of a piss-drunk Chelsea Clinton, panties exposed, falling into her car outside London clubs a few years ago. If Chelsea had been the scion of Republican bigwigs, those tacky scenes would have been trumpeted from pillar to post in the U.S. as signals of parental failures or turmoil in clan Clinton. As a Democrat, I detest the partisan machinations that have become standard in Northeastern news management and that are detectable in editorial decisions at major metropolitan newspapers nationwide. It's why I, like a host of others, have shifted my news gathering to the Web."

Even if I went for that flavor; no thanks.
Oh, I'd think it should probably make some tabloid somewhere or something, if it was that unusual. Maybe Mick Jagger being drunk wouldn't be particularly newsworthy.
Next month, The Globe will have them, but if it were a Republican it would be front page news.
This myth that the American media goes after Republicans is such blatant hogwash that it stuns me to see folks put forth such obvious lies. The Maimed Strung Media gave Bushco a free ride promoting his wars for profit and oil, then let him off the hook for destroying Iraq and Afghanistan, our environment, and our economy.
You folks with your 'liberal media' BS just don't have a clue.
You're right. If the tables were turned, we would have heard about it.
Carol, I thought you were above such posts.
Heck no! I'm against posting the pictures though. If I'm against truth, than the creeps and godless morons win.
The truth does not always need to be publicized. We all pick and choose what to present here. There are billions of other truths you could have selected.
i didn't go to the link so maybe i shouldn't say this. but i guess nothing has ever stopped me from opening my mouth & putting my foot in before!! lol
did this happen during a time of "other" important news? think about all that has probably happened in the past 13 days that we never heard about thanks to michael jackson. just wondering.
i do agree the media is very bias when it comes to reporting. :)
I hate to admit it but you are right on this one Carol.. I have never seen the new media as one sided as it ia now.
Carol, please find a fulfilling hobby. Don't waste your energies on BS.
Geesus, I had no idea you could be this nutty. And remember, the differences between Caribou Barbie Palin and her daughter Carry a Boo Boo Palin start with the fact that Palin wanted to be a heartbeat away from President, while Chelsea Clinton just wanted to be a girl.
Ever get drunk and dumb Carol, or are you the perfect human who never screws up?
I don't drink, I don't smoke, and I don't beat my children, but I do adopt other people's children who do sin. Question answered?
And Carol I hope you got the posts I put in when you were off to surgury. I went around asking folks how you were doing, I posted my heart out hoping for the best. So PLEASE get YOUR heart busy on something worthwhile.
I do appreciate your kindness.
I remember when the press ahd a field day with Bush II's daughters drinking underage, but something like this?
She must be America's Political sweetheart.
Mooch
BTW, she is NOT Bill's daughter (guess the "tool" couldn't get the job done) but the daughter of that Whitewater guy, the one who went to jail.
If you saw his picture and Chelsea's side by side you would see the striking resemblance - she's as ugly as her "real" dad. Everyone in his home state knows it, and that AK 's "white house" has as many men up the back stairs for Hitlery as they did for Wild Willy.
SO WHAT
Nobody cares because democrats are not running on "FAMILY VALUES."
What a politician does in private life not breaking the law is not newsworthy. Hypocrisy is newsworthy. Politicians who run on family values deserve the scrutinity.
Yeah, if preach abstinence and your little barbie gets knocked up, THAT'S NEWSWORTHY.
