Brent Bozell proves in vividdetail and explains the extent to which the media has succumbed to thepressure by the Clinton forces and have failed to ask Sen. Clinton pertinentquestions or thoroughly investigate a single charge against her."No criticism of them is legitimate," says Bozell and co-author Tim Graham. "First it was 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 deflectany 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 the fullest extent."Presenting stunning new evidence, Whitewash reveals how the national mediabury stories that could damage Hillary's presidential chances, whether it'sher new fundraising scandals, her refusal to release official documents of heractivities as First Lady or the latest allegation that she listened to wiretaprecordings of Republican opponents' phone calls.Whitewash exposes the media's shameless --and ongoing -- fawning over Mrs.Clinton, including
