Interesting admission about progressives

I was reading a feminist blog in reaction to the crazy rantings of New York State's NOW President who felt that Sen. Kennedy betrayed women. The blogger is not pleased with her comrade's anger and idiocy, she even uses tag lines like "assholes" and "stupidity", but she doesn't totally sell out the cause.

**I should also be clear that I think she has a legitimate point about how
coverage of the candidates is unbalanced. I do think that media sources —
including progressive sources — are much harder on Sen. Clinton. I think it’s
too bad that point was obscured by all the other stuff she wrote.

Her ending note is interesting for a couple reasons. One is that quite a few liberals love to act superior and pretend like they are without prejudice, yet the feminist blogger hints at sexism in the progressive media. The second point is the nature of the media. Liberal critics of the mainstream media have used past harsh media treatment of the Clintons as evidence of a conservative media. It is more likely that the media was harsh on the Clintons because they deserved that kind of treatment and the Clinton White House was fairly hostile towards the press. Bill's recent bad behavior has gotten him slammed in the media by the right and left (except for Clinton suckasses like Media Matters and Craig Crawford)

The left blogosphere has been buzzing with disgust over the Clintons, very often echoing many of the right wings complaints about the Clintons' lack of honesty, willingness to do anything to win an election, and their corruption. Jonathan Chait wrote an opinion piece on liberals turning on the Clintons.

Something strange happened the other day. All these different people --
friends, co-workers, relatives, people on a liberal e-mail list I read -- kept
saying the same thing: They've suddenly developed a disdain for Bill and Hillary
Clinton. Maybe this is just a coincidence, but I think we've reached an
irrevocable turning point in liberal opinion of the Clintons.

The media had a much closer view of the Clinton's in the 90's than the rest of the people, maybe it just took longer for certain liberals to realize the nature of their character.
