You can tell that the media is under the microscope in the same week that Bill Clinton chastises the media and CBS announces that Dan Rather will resign.

It’s not as simple as it seemed before the U.S. elections, when the big 3 networks, with Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings were cast as the anti-Bush liberal lobby that was automatically pro-Kerry. (see RatherBiased.com cartoon of the CBS logo!)

People tend to forget –and Clinton reminded Peter Jennings– that the networks did relentlessly chase after every angle of the Monica Lewinsky story.
