DISGUSTING!...The Media is doing it's best to make Anita Hill look like a liar!
Edited on Tue Oct-02-07 05:14 PM by glarius
It is very obvious that the media (including CNN which I'm watching at present) does not want the public to believe Anita Hill. In their presentations of Clarence Thomas and Ms. Hill so far, they have made sure to ask him questions in such a way that they are hoping he comes across as very positive and strong. He offers no proof that she is lying but that doesn't seem to matter to the media. Of course he is lying. It even shows in his eyes, but apparently they think he is doing a good job. They even had Bill Bennett and Donna Brazile discussing it. Bennett of course was positive that his good friend Clarence was telling the truth. And predictably, the wishy-washy Brazile said words to the effect "I believe Anita and I'm sure Clarence Thomas is certain of his facts too!"
On the other hand, when they talk to Anita Hill, they never bring out the pertinent point that she passed a lie detector test, and Thomas refused to take one. I heard this fact this morning on Good Morning America. Robin Roberts sort of slipped the information in quickly and then let it lie there. No one has mentioned it since. Also they don't mention the other female witnesses who came forward and verified what Ms. Hill said about him. It's all pretty disgusting.

2. Well it worked when they did it before...
Isn't she the one they characterized as "a little bit nutty, a little bit slutty"?

Nice, huh?

6. They lob cotton balls at Judge Thomas
and ask Professor Hill extremely hard journalism type questions.

Not fair, not fair at all.

But not a big surprise either.

10. I Believed Her Then
I believe her now. But they didn't ask my opinion about whether he should get the job. If they want it now, he's a mediocrity.
