Walters Delivers Hillary Book Infomercial, Paints Her as Victim In Sunday's Barbara Walters special promoting Hillary Clinton's new book, Walters did little more than deliver an hour-long infomercial for the book as she cued up items in the tome for Hillary to comment on, book-ended with plugs for a presidential bid. For Walters, bad things just seemed to happen to an innocent Hillary Clinton whom Walters repeatedly saw as a victim: “You made investments in the commodities markets, you dealt in real estate -- Whitewater, you worked for the Rose law firm, all of which at the time you thought were very innocent. All these things came back to haunt you.” Walters concluded the hour by fancifully speculating on the possibility of a President Hillary Clinton and First Husband Bill Clinton. 2. ABC Highlights Hillary's “Pain” Over Bush Ruining the Economy Minutes before ABC's infomercial for Hillary Clinton's book aired in the EDT and CDT time zones, ABC's World News Tonight/Sunday anchor Carole Simpson highlighted how it “pains” Hillary Clinton “that her husband's work to improve the economy has been reversed.” Clinton bawled about how “it breaks my heart that in two and a half years we've gone back into huge deficits and debt and jobs are down and people are falling back into poverty.” 3. ABC Insists “Everyone” Excited by Hillary, Her Presidential Bid Speak for yourself. Viewers of Sunday's This Week on ABC heard that “everyone's” been waiting for the Barbara Walters-Hillary Clinton interview, that “everyone” in Washington will be scouring Hillary's book “for clues” about her political future, and that whether she will run for President in 2004 is what “everyone's talking about.” 4. “Is the 'Vast, Right-Wing Conspiracy' Bigger Than You Thought?” An actual question from Time magazine's Nancy Gibbs to Hillary Clinton in an interview for this week's issue which accompanies the magazine's cover story excerpt of her new book: “Is the 'vast, right-wing conspiracy' bigger than you thought when you brought that term into our vocabulary?” And that wasn't the only question from Gibbs which presumed conservatives were in the wrong. Gibbs wondered: “In the book you have a lot to say about forgiveness. Have you forgiven Ken Starr?” Plus: “Would you call Bush a radical?” 5. NBC Again Distorts Topic by Saying People “Left Out” of Tax Cut On Friday night, Tom Brokaw raised the subject of how “some low-income groups were left out” of “the President's tax cut,” but Brokaw again failed to point out the basic fact that those in question do not pay net income tax. David Gregory echoed the same language as he cited criticism that the tax cut “left out a huge chunk of the working poor who wouldn't benefit from the tax plan's expanded child credit.” Though their situation would not change, Washington Post reporter Juliet Eilperin ludicrously asserted those in question are “hurt” by not getting the higher tax credit. 6. Hume: Clinton “Waving His Wand at Everyone Who Walked By...” Best line of the weekend, from Brit Hume on Fox News Sunday in reaction to Hillary Clinton's charge in her new book that the Starr Report was “gratuitously graphic and degrading to the presidency.” Hume quipped: “So you've got this President, who'd been waving his wand at everyone who walked by...” See today’s entire CyberAlert at: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2003/cyb20030609.asp ________________________________________________________________________________ Advertisement www.TimesWatch.org TimesWatch.org Times Promotes Laughable Lefty Authors Warren St. John profiles a “scrappy” left-wing publisher who has employed anti-American author Noam Chomsky, disgraced arms inspector Scott Ritter and self-important actor Sean Penn (and acquired a manuscript from the Unabomber).
