...liability, since it can keep him or her from hearing anything else--like the facts. Clinton's biggest error so far has been bending events to bolster her credentials, as with her exaggeration of the danger she faced on a 1996 trip to Bosnia.

In a recent appearance on Fox News-not exactly considered friendly territory for the Democrats-he congratulated the network for having done "the fairest job [and] remained the most objective of all the cable networks." In an interview with me, the governor was again in media-critic mode.
