But looking back, what Clinton did with Monica Lewinsky should never have been publicized or prosecuted. It was consensual, though tawdry, and how could anyone blame Clinton for lying to protect his marriage/reputation. I don't condone what he and Hilary did to the other women though.

But the point you are missing is not just political slant, but accuracy, as evidenced by those Fake News Awards. Fox obviously vets their news far more carefully. They value accuracy. They don't allow right wing commentators to sling outrageous lies around.
That was an honest and balanced reply. But you do get my point, that, Trump, not just at Fox, is not being held to the same standards as Clinton.

And with the internet everything is public. This is especially true for politicians.

In Touch reveals Stormy Daniels and it goes viral. But conservatives don't care, that he cheated while just married, nor do the Evangelicals that put Trump in office care. But if it was Clinton, they'd be going ballistic.

And if it was Obama they'd be having their heyday. Dislike Obama all you want, but he never had a sexual scandal, and seems to be the ideal family man. Go figure. Hate Obama, who was clean, and love Trump, who is dirty, multiple times.

Something don't make sense. More on that soon.
