Media have been Heavily biased toward Democrats for decades. I was a Democrat even in Clinton's first term, when I finally figured out there Had to be another side of all the news stories. Bush vilified about Katrina, yet Obama gets a free pas when he say New Orleans doesn't need more money. ABC edits the Path to 9/11 series in response to Clinton pressure.
ABC, NBC, CBS show strong anti-Nixon stories in the 1968 election. The news carried strong anti-Reagan stories in favor of Mondale. Clinton's Berger destroyed national documents and gets a free pass. Scooter Libby forgets parts of a conversation a year earlier and gets jail.
Clinton inherited an economy from Reagan that was growing at 4%, yet press says Clinton responsible for strong economy. The economy was shrinking by 0.5% at the end of Clinton's term, yet the press says Bush destroyed the economy. The unemployment rate over Bush's 8 years was (slightly) lower than during Clinton's 8.
In February 2007, after 6 years of Bush, unemployment was 4.5%.
However, Democrats controlled Both Houses of Congress, and employment is now over 9% Republicans controlled Congress during the Clinton years.
