Clinton and Gore used it to their advantage. They were opportunistic and probably making money off it in some way.
Lieberman was actually asking questions and continued to check with various sources after the hearings.
Of course it should also be pointed out he was telling companies running money laundering schemes to stop or the hearings would have actual evidence soon. It's the reason why companies like Midway suddenly had different sales numbers.
I seem to recall the media jumping on video games as the root cause for the Beltway Sniper incident, when that shit was going down. They hushed up really fast once the culprits were caught (and hell, I remember some CNN twat trying to connect a fucking craft store to the shootings, just because of the name. I'm sure other stores happened to be in the same area as multiple shootings, lord knows the US is rumored to have a McDonald's nearly every freakin' block.)
For the longest time comparing actual buildings to level design was verboten because of the Columbine shooters. The rumors about them designing a level out of the school wasn't true. Their notebooks did swap back and forth between the shooting and level ideas though.
Leftists fighting who? Some of the biggest proponents of censorship at the time were Joe Lieberman, Tipper Gore and Hillary Clinton.

They love a good rage bait.
