 NY TIMES BLAMES CLINTON'S BEHAVIOR ON MEDIA

KATHARINE Q SEELYE, NY TIMES - The negative coverage of Bill Clinton over the past couple of weeks seems to have hurt his standing with the public. A new survey finds that fewer voters these days like the idea of the former president being back in the White House.

JAMES TARANTO, WALL STREET JOURNAL - Why does Seelye attribute Mr. Clinton's declining popularity to "negative coverage" rather than to his own off-putting behavior? More to the point, can you imagine a New York Times reporter beginning a story, "The negative coverage of George W. Bush over the past few years seems to have hurt his standing with the public"?
