Why Won't the Media Establishment Share This Hillary News?
I am not surprised that the media establishment is staying away from this story - but I figure the people should know about it...

Because the video does not pass the smell and fact-check test.
Whatever your agenda is, and I don't care what it is, you do not help the Democratic cause by sharing this garbage to enlighten 'the people'. It just makes all of us look stupid.
Or maybe that is your agenda in your first post and all?

Well, given that the video is filled with clips from main stream media news programs reporting on this issue, I think it's disingenuous to say that it's never been covered. It's just that the story never had legs.

Moreover:
From the Wikipedia entry Peter Paul v Clinton.

Peter Paul is a convicted con man and drug dealer, and he paid for this video. Mainstream media did cover the issue since it's full of media clip, as Allsburg mentioned above. The Wall Street journal did a long article on it in 2005.

Given the whopping 29 recommendations (at this time), and 0 non-critical comments, I suspect that "Dan Wetstinele" is multi-recommending his own post. Given the fact that Google returns one link on keyword, "Wetstinele", I suspect that "Dan Westinele" is not a real name but made to look like one.
There is another post about all this here:

And "Dan" (or should I call you "Peter"), stop the smearing.

29 recommendations suggests something more than self promotion.
Maybe some glitch in the code is cloning recommendations the way Mickey got more than he asked for in the The Sorcerers Apprentice.

No, there is a way to do multiple self recommendations, and it wouldn't be that hard to do it 29 times.
