Reply #23: It's simple --- The reason is BECAUSE it's simple

[Armstead]

Remember Bill Clinton? The Republicans send countless hours and dollars trying to taint him with scandal. They tried to make him look like a crook with Whitewater, they tried to make him look like a traitor with Chinagate. But non of those things had much traction in the media, and caused most voters' eyes to gloss over. .

But a blow job? Yeow, that was the motherload, and the media covered that one 24/7.

The media has a simple rule: If it bleeds (or spurts) it leads.
