11. Hart did say it was none of the media's business. Don't confuse him with Clinton...
The media said Hart was arrogant for saying his private life was none of their business.

Please find a statement from Hart about this issue you consider a lie.

According to Gallup, 60% of Americans felt the media was unfair to Hart.

Richard Nixon, a former political opponent, sent him a letter in support.

The problem was that the MSM kept repeating the story over and over when referring to him to the exclusion of covering the serious issues he was raising. It was much like the Dean scream for those to young to remember. The media also created the myth that reporting on his private life was acceptable because he challenged them to follow him when questioned about Vitter-like womanizing rumors.
