CBS's Monvies,that in it's self,pretty much told us what happened to Clinton. First thing was profits,and nothing else,as far as False Stories being repeated,that is the nature of the Beast,when asked to explain this statement,he deferred to their roll out of new services. And now we are hearing and seeing how the Fourth Estate hood winked the populace.
