Reply #41: Dean's negatives trickled out slowly over time (over a decade in scrutiny) [View All]

[w4rma]

Clark hasn't ever been through *real* media scrutiny. Dean has been under a microscope for over a decade.

Dean's negatives trickled out slowly over time and have been largely debunked as they trickled out.

Clark's negatives all came out at once like a broken dam.

This doesn't mean the media is biased between Dean and Clark (big media is pro-Bush, IMHO). This doesn't mean that Clark's negatives are worse or better than Dean's (I'll save that for a different thread). It means that we're getting it all at once because he's so new to being under a microscope.

That's my hypothesis.
