Mass media demise probably started when it was first invented, back in the newspaper then radio days.
Yeah just look up "yellow journalism." Certainly went on during the Civil War and is ancient, the Tudor royalty employed it as did their enemies.

he had consensual sex then was under oath for something else and they asked him about it and he lied which is technically a crime. Repubs were losing support after the terrible economy of reagan and bush I so they used it to distract their followers from their failures, and it was a good thing to do because Clinton was pretty terrible. They could have gone after him for legit things like corruption and his CIA days bringing coke into Arkansas but repubs were in on that too so didn't want to.
...Nah things were fucked up before Monica Lewinsky. The OJ Simpson trial happened a year or two prior to Monica and the OJ Simpson trial was one of my real eye opener moments about how fucked up things were.
Presidents and politicians getting BJs goes way back to FDR having a mistress and JFK banging Marilyn Monroe and whores supplied by mafia capos. Back then the Washington press knew about it but it was a boys club that never mentioned it. By Clinton's era there were women in the press who were either jealous of Monica's score or offended by it. So the frenzy over Monica was an unintended consequence of feminism in the workplace.
fat linda tripp was mad that monica was getting good dick from a man with power which is an aphrodisiac. Tripp told her fat friend Lucianne Goldberg, a literary agent. She planned to write a book (how did you get hundreds of pages out of knowing someone got a bj?). Clinton was getting sex from other women like Paula Jones who then tried to metoo him even though it was consensual. Newt Gingrich used this to attack Clinton, I blame him, he also got in trouble for cheating on his wife too but no one would have cared if he didn't act like a hypocrite. Cuz yeah everyone in DC cheats on their wives, the media members too.
She was attractive back then, and Clinton was mediocre looking.
The media was complicit in all kinds of crap in the sixties, JFK and his brother, hippies, Manson, etc.
SHe is more attractive today than she was then. She was a porker... she has lost weight since then.

She looks much better now yes. Of course, photos are cherry picked (by all of us).
Mainly back then she had a chubby face which gave the impression she was heavy (also was an indicator she would have trouble with weight gain which she, for now, has overcome, but it ain't easy, ask Kirstie Alley or Jessica Simpson or Marie Osmond etc.).
My main point was...let's not be a hypocrite, you'd hit it and you know it. And Clinton was nothing special. A prick.
a chubby face
that was the part of her that ol' Bill was using though, yes?
you'd hit it and you know it
lol, not then and not now. I literally remember the first time I saw a pic of her thinking "That's the best the President can do?!?!?"
It started WAY before that.
I mean for the most of people.
I see your point, but remember your perspective is usually relative to your age.
I think it started with Watergate.
Research the Smith-Munda Act...and who changed it
legalized propaganda however they were illegally using propaganda much earlier, mongoose.
