    Clearly those statements that you highlight, but do not reject, are evidence of her well documented homophobia? Or are they?

    I don't have any problem believing Bill would make a play to Ted's white privilege.

    Why wouldn't he have? It was last ditch effort.

    Not that openly.

    It's like the notorious "Rolling Stone" story, where the fratbros and Jackie's friends were saying things that real people don't actually say. People regulate their language, particularly an educated, savvy person like Bill Clinton.

    Do you think trump planted video cameras in the Miss Teenage Universe contest dressing rooms so he could have Ivanka watch them with him?

    OK. So, next question then: should Lizza have used a quote like this, based on second hand info, when the person who told it to him had been dead for four years, and should the New Yorker have edited it out?

    He should not have used the quote, to begin with, and, had he tried, the New Yorker should have edited it out. It was insufficiently sourced and lacked context.

    Well, you're consistent.

    Wonder if Lizza has Russert on tape relating it to him.

    That is irrelevant to my point. Your premise is garbage.

    By the way, I can't read the Tweets. For some reason, it won't load. If you want to post what happened and the excuse, I'll be happy to answer your question.

    That said, even if she lied or did some other bad thing, it doesn't mean the media can't call out liars. It doesn't even come close to meaning that. Your premise is an absolute failure.

    "Oriental" is acceptable to describe art, not a race of people.
