The end of the 1990s saw increasing criticism of the media's
treatment of the scandals in Washington. Critics complained that
journalists either had not covered the political crisis well, that
they had bungled it, or that they had simply blown it out of
proportion. Some went so far as to call the situation Pressgate. As
Hayden points out, however, the larger question remained: What was
Clinton's overall relationship with the media?
Hayden examines presidential-press relationships in the 1990s,
focusing first on the 1992 campaign, then on issues and events over
Clinton's two terms. He analyzes the press response to the programs
of the Clinton era as well as the scandals, the roles of
consultants like James Carville, the effectiveness of various press
secretaries, and the use of pollsters like Dick Morris. He also
examines the fate of the First Amendment in the 1990s and how
Clinton responded to freedom of expression concerns. This analysis
will be of interest to media specialists as well as the general
public concerned with contemporary Washington politics and
journalism.
