The media has earned a great deal of scorn because they forgot a long time ago that they're supposed to report, not shape news events by injecting their biases into their reporting.
Hillary stepped onto the parked press bus in Indianola for about 90 seconds to deliver bagels and coffee, and I'm not sure what this says about Clinton and the press — the chill, I think, comes from both sides — but it was a strange moment. She expressed her sympathies that we're away from our families and "significant others," tried a joke at the expense of her press secretary, and paused. Nobody even shouted a question, whether because of the surprise, the assumption that she wouldn't actually answer, or the sheer desire to end the encounter.
One reporter compared the awkwardness to running unexpectedly into an ex-girlfriend.
"Maybe we should go outside and warm up," said another, as Clinton exited into the freezing air.
What is this, fucking Heathers? Did these reporters ever graduate high school, or do they think they're now cool because they get to sniff at Hillary Clinton instead of doing their goddam jobs?
The worst part of a Hillary nomination? The re-ascendency of the Mark Penns and Terry McAuliffes of the Democratic Party. The best part? A big middle finger in the face of a media that has truly forgotten their proper role in the process. And they'd be so abjectly ridiculous if Hillary won that they would single-handedly unite us in fierce solidarity with Hillary -- a herculean task under any other circumstances.
