The meaning of the phrase The Anatomy of a Coverup in the Mainstream Media can be captured in single compound "word" -- NEVER-RIGHT. The NEVER-RIGHT process is actually a sequence of steps in a process that is not allowed to happen.

NEVER Reported in the Mainstream Media, therefore, they are

NEVER Investigated by the FBI or a regulatory agency, and therefore are

NEVER brought before a Grand Jury, therefore, you are

NEVER Harrassed by the Mainstream Media, and are

NEVER Tried in the Mainstream Media, as in "They're guilty; now we need to find the evidence!"

IT IS NICE TO BE THE KING AND

• 1988 - Wealthy Republican Bill L. Waters defaults on $105 million dollars in loans to Silverado Savings and Loan (Bailout costs $2.3 BILLION) - Media Coverage - None-NEVER-RIGHT
• 1988 - Republican National Committeeman Charles Keating donates $100,000 to Bush 1988 presidential campaign. There are considerable indications the money was from about $300 million in junk bonds sold to southern Californians after the investigation of Keating by the San Francisco FHLBB had been moved to Republican-controlled FHLBB in Washington. - Media Coverage - None-NEVER-RIGHT
• 1988 - Wealthy Republican Ellison Trine Starnes, Jr defaults on $77 million dollars in loans to Silverado Savings and Loan (Bailout costs $2.3 BILLION) Media Coverage-None-NEVER-RIGHT
• 1988 - Wealthy Republican Kenneth M. Good defaults on loans to Silverado and to Western Savings in Dallas for tens of millions of dollars. Both S&L subsequently collapse with costs to the American taxpayer in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Media Coverage-None-NEVER-RIGHT.
• May-June 1989 - Trial of executives of Sunrise Savings and Loan in Florida which collapsed in 1985 with bailout costs to the American taxpayer of $680 MILLION dollars. The Miami Herald, a Knight-Ridder newspaper covered every day of the trial. Yet when one witness testified that then-vice President George Bush had interferred in the investigation of Sunrise in 1984, a year before it collapsed, the Miami Herald somehow missed this story. The Bush-appointed Federal attorney in Miami never investigated this testimony, nor did he make an attempt to indict the man for perjury, whose testimony, by the way, was corroborated by another ex-Sunrise employee. Media Coverage - None-NEVER-RIGHT
• October 1990 - Jeb Bush and his real estate partner receive a $4 million gift from S&L regulators in his father's administration - Media Coverage - One story in the Washington Post, one story in the New York Times - NEVER-RIGHT
• August 1992 - Indications of widespread corruption and political favoritism in the Resolution Trust Corporation - Media Coverage - One story in the Washington Post - NEVER-RIGHT

• RED (Whitewater -L.Jean Lewis

• Green=FosterGATE

• Blue=TrooperGATE

STEP ONE: CODE RED - [L.Jean Lewis-Washington Post]- On October 31, 1993, he Whitewater Smear Campaign opened with a story in the Washington Post by Susan Schmidt, with the assistance of Michael Isikoff. Much of the material they used came from the Republican poster girl of the Whitewater Hearings, L. Jean Lewis, a radical right wing Republican activist working for the Resolution Trust Corporation. The Schmidt-Isikoff-Lewis coordinated fabrication was a contributing reason for the appointment of a Whitewater OIC in January 1994.

STEP TWO: CODE PURPLE - Another reason was the accusation by a convicted felon, David Hale that the then-governor Clinton had pressured him in 1984 to loan $300,000 dollars to Susan McDougal. These stories started appearing before the formal opening of the Smear Campaign. Beginning in the late summer of 1993, Hale was closely working with David Bossie and Floyd Brown (of "Willie Horton" fame) in an effort to spread this story in the print, TV, and radio media. Bossie and Brown had been feeding Whitewater stories to the media since the mid-summer of 1993, and by the fall of 1993, were actually coordinating Hale's sessions with the media during the media frenzy of the early Whitewater "reporting." Although Bossie and Brown were known as radical right wing Republican publicists, none of their Whitewater stories or Hale interviews ever received a proper attribution in the Mainstream Media.

STEP THREE: CODE RED AGAIN [L. Jean Lewis-NY Times] Beginning on December 15, 1993 Jeff Gerth in the New York Times, the Washington Post and other papers returned to the theme of James McDougal raising money for the Clintons in 1985. A little confusion here - the New York Times claimed it was to raise funds for the Clinton's personal expenses, while the Washington Post was holding out for a political fundraiser. Keep tuned for the latest revelations.

STEP FOUR: CODE GREEN - On December 19,1993 the New York Times began quoting anonymous "Federal Investigators" and anonymous "sources" on the removal of documents from Vince Foster's office after he committed suicide. This was the beginning of the FosterGATE scandal.

STEP FIVE: CODE BLUE - The TrooperGATE scandal broke on December 21, 1993. It was based upon stories purchased from Arkansas state troopers by a wealthy radical right wing activist from Chicago who had and has very close ties to GOPAC. The TrooperGATE stories were published in ultra-right-wing American Spectator magazine and the Los Angeles Times. See the web page - TrooperGATE Began Before Clinton's Election in 1992.

STEP SIX: As a result of the Whitewater Smear Campaign, the Attorney General appointed a moderate Republican, Robert Fiske, as the special prosecutor on January 20, 1994. He was deposed in August 1994 and replaced by the radical right wing Republican Kenneth Starr.
