Subject: RE: BS: Media Jump Ship From Obama To Clinton
It is the media's job to be all over ALL the candidates, not cherry picking like they do.
Or blogging about why Peggy Noonan deserves a Pulitzer for watching people at the airport, as Brian Williams did recently.
Over on Newsday, there was yet another commentator who wrote that this was absolutely not a nasty campaign, despite the punditocracy (and the candidates, of course--but we expect cries of foul from all the candidates) claiming otherwise.
Ditto the "too long" primary campaign.
Well, that is bullshit too. There is a lot at stake, and both candidates are receiving a full vetting.
As it should be.
I have maintained all along, neither candidate can be hurt by the other, as badly as they can inflict their own wounds on themselves.
Both campaigns have succeeded really well at damaging themselves in ways their opponent has not been able to do.
So what does that tell us about "the process" this election cycle, hmmm???
