Has anyone ever noticed that the news media seldom asks some of the great questions? I think that one reason for this is that if a candidate thinks that a certain network or newsman is hostile and tries to put them on a spot, they will avoid future interviews and no network wants to be left out in the cold.
Here are a couple of examples; when Bill Clinton is extolling the virtues of his candidate wife have you ever heard anyone ask him how can he expect us show respect for her when he never has. If he thought so much of her, why did he do all of that running around on her. Hey, maybe he wants her to win so that he can be 'first man' and have more free time to pursue interns in the White House.
Another question I have never heard anybody ask the Clinton's is to confirm or deny what we have had heard about them charging the Secret Service ten thousand dollars a month to guard then, thereby having the US taxpayers in effect make their mortgage payments. In the early days of the Clinton presidency, they complain how poor they were and now they tout how wealthy they are and if so you might think that they could pay for some of their own Secret Service protection. Along that line, look at all the years the taxpayers footed the bill for Lady Bird Johnson's protection and of course she was no pauper.
