Hands Off Hillary;' Media Analyst Brent Bozell Proves Media Fails to Investigate Serious Charges

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 28/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In his new book,Whitewash: What the Media Won't Tell You About Hillary Clinton, But Conservatives Will (CrownForum, Nov. 2007), L. Brent Bozell proves in vivid detail and explains the extent to which the media has succumbed to thepressure by theClinton forces and have failed to ask Sen. Clinton pertinent questions or thoroughly investigate a single charge against her."No criticism of them is legitimate," says Bozell and co-author Tim Graham. "First itwas a vast-right-wing-conspiracy, then most recently it was the 'Russert gotcha question,' or that the 'boys are picking on me' defense.""What the Clintons have done so effectively for all these years is to deflect any criticism and make the case that the story should be about the accusers,not the accused. They pressure their willing accomplices in the media tooverlook their flaws or simply not report them to thefullest extent."Presenting stunning new evidence, Whitewash reveals howthe national media bury stories that could damage Hillary's presidential chances, whether it's her new fund raising scandals, her refusal to release official documents of her activities as First Lady or the latest allegation that she listened to wire tap recordings of Republican opponents' phone calls.Whitewash exposes the media's shameless --and ongoing -- fawning over Mrs.Clinton, including

Whitewash corrects the record, and inexclusive interviews with Rush Limbaugh,Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter,Laura Ingraham, Newt Gingrich, Mark Levin andothers, reveals how the"drive-by" media, (as Rush calls them) refuse to coverthe Clintons withthe same blood-thirsty drive as other public officials.L.
