The Clinton Rules

They're like the "Jordan Rules," but for media covering politicians. Media Matters has the details, but here are the basics:

  1. If any part of an alleged scandal turns out to be true, the media behaves as though the entire story is true.
  2. Media parse every statement by progressives in response to controversy, looking for something to ridicule -- whether the ridicule is fair or not.
  3. Allegations that turn out to be unproven, or even false, are used by the media as evidence in support of future allegations.

Keep an eye on the next few months; I'm sure they'll be tailored for Sen. Obama or Hillary Clinton, just like they were for Al Gore and John Kerry.
