Mark Steyn -- Why Is Bill Cosby Finished While Bill Clinton Is Beloved?

From Steyn Online via H/T at Ace of Spades HQ:

I found it interesting that, among "liberals" in the US, the only two journalists who were prepared to speak out against the "sociopathic gangster" were both old Fleet Street hands - Hitchens and Alexander Cockburn. By contrast, on the eve of the impeachment trial in Washington, David Frum and I had a cup of tea with a prominent American media leftie and, after a bit of chit-chat about the latest damning revelations, David asked him why he and the rest of the press were sticking with Clinton. "Well," he said, "in the end he's our guy." Hitchens quite rightly despised that.

Just about explains everything you need to know about the Drive-By Media, otherwise known as Democratic Operatives with Bylines.
