(( Gil Davis is representing Paula Jones in her sexual harassment suit
against President Clinton, argued last week before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Davis is also Ramona Hines' attorney, in her lawsuit against a Martinsville
TV station.
One viewer questioned our motives in airing Hines' videotape of Davis
talking to her about arranging a possible appearance in Playboy magazine.
"It was to be expected that the media would go after Gil Davis for daring to
challenge President Clinton. What was not expected was that News 7 would be
leading the charge. That your news operation would stoop this low in attempting
to help Clinton is unfortunate. Character assassination is something people
have come to expect from the national media. I had thought News 7 had a better
sense of fairness. To align yourself with the Clinton "whatever is necessary to
keep power" mentality does you no service."
Another viewer was more critical of HINES' motives.
"It appeared to me that the female involved in the above conversation was
teasing and flirting with Mr. Davis. At one point she seemed to encourage him
in the conversation by saying "What did I say"...I also heard her giggling in
the tape. So it has yet to be proven to me that this man is guilty of "immoral
conduct, etc.". Perhaps the motives of the female involved should be suspect.
Another question...why did she meet with him in a hotel room of her own free
will?"
