By Glynn Wilson –
In the wake of all the stories about Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server scandal, there is a story still making the rounds on Facebook from the liberal San Francisco news magazine website Salon dot com that first ran on the media criticism website Media Matters.
The headline?
The George W. Bush email scandal the media has conveniently forgotten
But what Salon does not tell people is that it is “the media” and it did not break stories or investigate the missing White House e-mail scandal back in the Bush-Cheney-Rove years. It was mentioned here and there by the press and broadcast media, ignored by many, and not investigated by any. Save us.
We chased the story in a big way on the news website that is the predecessor of the New American Journal.
White House-RNC Email Backed Up in Chattanooga?
In fact, we found the place where the e-mails were stored (and deleted) and Congress could have done something about it, but did nothing. No other news oranization in the country did anything either.
Another reason web archives are great.
Great story, Glynn. A major revelation about Republicans and their email quandaries during the Bush Administration. Everyone needs to be advised about this as the average person on the street is not aware of the Republicans doing precisely what our Democratic candidate allegedly did when she was in office.
