One favorite tactic of our "Objective" media during the impeachment of President Donald Trump is to find a clip of the president's legal experts such as Ken Starr and Alan Dershowitz expressing an opinion during the 1998-99 impeachment of Bill Clinton and then show a contrast with the present day.
It's not surprising that Democrats and Republicans favor or oppose impeachment based on the party of the president in the dock.
Back in 1998, Newsweek's Eleanor Clift spoke for the vast majority of the press from her chair on "The McLaughlin Group." Before the House voted to impeach Clinton, she warned, "If the Republicans want to go ahead and do this, I think they disgrace themselves in a more profound way than President Clinton has by abusing the machinery of impeachment, knowing full well that the Senate will hold a sham trial and they will be, in effect, delivered of this ridiculous conclusion."
Over and over again, these network "News" stars lamented that the House impeachment vote and the Senate impeachment trial of President Clinton were a "Sham" and a horrible "Distraction" from the people's business.
Lauer said: "Speaker Wright, let me start with you. When you resigned nine years ago, you had been battered by the right. You called for an end to what you called, 'mindless cannibalism.' Nine years later, we're hearing terms like that again, and others swirling around the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Have we learned nothing in nine years?".
