Today, Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post, has released yet another anti-Hillary hitpiece viewable here:
The new Washington-Post ABC News poll contains lots of bad news for Hillary Clinton. She's lost more than 20 points in a hypothetical Democratic primary ballot since July and now finds herself in a statistical dead heat with Donald Trump -- not a typo -- in a potential general election matchup.
Leave aside that recent polls in the last few weeks have all have all Democratic actually candidates (meaning Biden is not one) in close national contests with Republicans. That is because Obama's approvals are in the toss-up range of 45-49%, tho not below 40% (where incumbent parties lose) and above 50% (where they win). Also, that was how the GOP looked in 1987 before Bush smoked Dukakis.
First off the bat, this Cilly guy has a huge portfolio of anti-Hillary crap, and Biden-peddling stuff.
8/15: "Hillary Clinton is trying to make the e-mail controversy political. But, really, it isn’t."
8/18: Maybe Hillary Clinton just isn’t a very good candidate
8/19: 5 mistakes Hillary Clinton made in her latest e-mail press conference
8/20: Hillary Clinton’s honesty problem just keeps getting worse
8/21: Hillary Clinton’s Worst Week in Washington
8/21 (again): Who are the late-arriving Hillary Clinton challengers? We ranked them.
8/25: This poll on Hillary Clinton dropping out of the 2016 race is ridiculous
8/28: Hillary Clinton’s new approach to her e-mail controversy? It’s complicated.
8/31: Democrats like Hillary Clinton. Her problem is that they don’t love her.
9/1: The latest Hillary Clinton e-mails show she is VERY suspicious of the press
9/8: Why Joe Biden could be a problem for Hillary Clinton, in 1 Vine
9/8 (he just loves it): The reinvention of Hillary Clinton almost certainly won’t work

9/10: It might be time for Hillary Clinton to start panicking
9/10 (yup): Who had the worst week in Washington? Hillary Clinton.
I could keep going back, and the list will grow, but you get the idea. This guy is a sham of a "journalist." I used to subscribe to the Washington Post, but I cancelled my sub. I'll just view em online and when my limit runs, I'll open up an incognito window to avoid giving my money to this shit.
The media has no right to try to shape campaigns. They have a right and duty to report, and that's it. Also, Bernie Sanders is this year's Bill Bradley. (you can find 1999-2000 polls which show this parallel) Whoever you're for, this is not news; it is yellow tabloidism.
A little about this Chris Cillizza (who I call Cilly): he is not some genius or visionary with a great degree. He is a rich-kid who went to an elite prep school called Loomis Chaffee (yes Lincoln has a relation). While Cilly did get into Georgetown (tho probably because of the guidance counselors who are hired at those prep schools to do just that) probably took spots at WaPo that normally go to more qualified kids whose parents didn't pay 40k/year for high school and got into Georgetown or better on merit. He is a spoilt brat must be called out.
