The CBS Evening News profile of Clinton, which was narrated by
Rather and was presented as part of the series Eye on America,
contained no mention of Clinton's economic policy, his tax or budget
plans, his failed attempt to pass a health-care proposal, his successful
attempt to ratify NAFTA, his efforts to "reinvent government," or any
substantive aspect of his proposals or plans in office. Its subject was
exclusively Clinton's handling of his office—his "difficulty making
decisions," his "waffling" at crucial moments. If Rather or his colleagues
had any interest in the content of Clinton's speech as opposed to its
political effect, neither the questions they asked nor the reports they
aired revealed such a concern.
