Sorry, but bullshit. Bill Clinton in 1996 complained that the


press was fairer to him in 1992. You may recall he was a dem. I did a quick google search and found this History Channel article on the long history of presidential quarrels with the press. Simply proof that power never enjoys having truth spoken to it. Nothing more. Dem or repub, whig or tory.

If anything was a real precursor to FOX, it was probably the money being made in the '90s in rightie talk radio. Rush Limbaugh et al.
