Liberal Media Bias

There was no Cain case. Also, Cain isn't president. You would think allegations against a sitting president are pretty newsworthy. And, any "settlement" was between the woman and the NRA, not Cain.
Still, the difference in media coverage is striking.

There was. It is what generated the settlement.

He is attempting to become president.

There are always accusations against every president. Probably thousands of them over a four year period.

It has been acknowledged that there WAS a settlement, and it was due to Cain's actions.

Given the above, how so?

Because Bill Clinton was president and Cain is a presidential candidate.

I think most have varying degrees of bias.
But in the article you posted, they really need to compare apples to apples. That was a long time ago, different people in the media, etc. Something more current, but maybe not exactly the same act might be a little better indicator.

Over a four year term, there are probably thousands of individual accusations made against any president.
