In general, reporters and their editors/new directors/network
executives are opportunists. They may like Clinton and prefer
to show him in the most favorable light, but give them someone
else they can support...or present sufficient evidence that
he's lied to them and/or his policies are bad for them and
their profession...and they'll turn on him.
JH> Why haven't the police been called in?
Who's going to make the call -- someone in the administration?
The media themselves? If any of the Republican leadership in
Congress, or private individuals (who will almost certainly
be considered "right-wing extremists") report anything to the
cops, I suspect the DOJ would work quickly to discredit the
report. Also, don't forget that most chiefs of police,
sheriffs and state-police officials owe a lot of their
budgets to federal dollars, while federal authorities report
directly to one or another of Clinton's people.
Besides, the various deaths in question took place in a wide
variety of locales, which means no one agency has
jurisdiction over them. It's a fact that reports from
small-town departments don't always get into any central file
network; even when they do, they may not be as complete as
they should be. Put it all together, and it's hard for any
law-enforcement agency to see enough data from all these
investigations to put together any sort of pattern.
(Journalists, OTOH, aren't limited to any one jurisdiction.
If some sharp reporter can get the information and find a
pattern -- without having his/her credibility destroyed by
White House spinmeisters first, of course -- he/she could
simultaneously pick up a Pulitzer Prize and hand the whole
case to the police, gift-wrapped and ready for action.)
