The press rewrites Dem history, cont'd

FAIR strips away more of the revisionist history that we've seen in the press since the Election Day, with Betlway pundits warning Barack Obama not to govern from the left because Bill Clinton tried that in 1993 when he first arrived in the White House and it was a political disaster for Democrats.

Writes FAIR:

It's a long-standing myth, and a useful one for centrists and conservatives who wish to see Democrats shift right. But there's very little evidence that it's actually true; in fact, it's more likely that Clinton's abandonment of leftist campaign promises led to the 1994 reversal of power in Washington.
