I'll try again....

Lets say a local paper published an article on a prosepctive mayor and that if elected, the mayor would appoint her husband as the new dogcatcher. And if in the past the mayor's husband had once beaten a dog and been arrested for it, BUT, the paper did not mention that.
That would be lousy journalism, right?

My point has nothing to do with the subject of the article on Bill, My issue is that that it doesn not mention his impeachment or disbarrment (sp?), which is a major issue for a supreme court judge. I think the media reports on Bill as any other president, when in fact, he is a criminal.

What was Clinton ever convicted of?

He was impeached by the House, this is simply the leveling of charges against him. The Senate is required to vote to convict on those charges and in Clinton's case he was acquitted of those charges.

Perhaps if this was a serious article by CNN they would dive into additional detail, but as you've posted it's just a silly sort of "could it really happen" bit.

It would seem as though you're so obsessed with a "liberal media conspiracy" you just see what you want to see.
