It's easier than that - just a few weeks ago the media took a working holiday, going after Bill Clinton for "not saying sorry to Monica". They always cut bait when a big fish comes along - and chase after the little fish, the bitchy gossipy story. They're all Maureen Dowd these days. It's easier to write a mocking, fact-free humorous & snide op-ed than do real reporting. It's better to shoot the shit with George Bush than to talk policy and read up on welfare reform or global warming to keep up with Gore. The biggest sin Gore & Hillary made wasn't being robotic or insincere - it was trying to be serious. The Kool Kidz will get their revenge - over & over.

So yeah, Sanders can just feed any situation to the guys in the back, and they'll cover it for her. Relativism, people want the parties to get along, all the other faux shit they peddle as "news". It takes 1 blip for them to be creaming themselves over how Trump's popularity is rising or he someone acted presidential. They live for these microorgasms.

And the reason Sarah survives at this position is mostly because she's a female and she's a secretary, and they don't or won't take her serious anyway, especially getting her position through nepotism. Spicer was a challenge - Sanders is an exercise in disbelief. Look at that comedy dinner - Michelle Wolf pointing out that Sanders lies was horrific - because no one else would - they'd already accepted that she was just the compromised voice of a compromised administration. As dishonest as Spicer was, he tried to finesse it. Huckabee Sanders just takes the school marm approach - "you'll believe it cause I said it,and even if you don't, you'll keep quiet about it".

It doesn't say good things about the media.

But was it Clinton or The Hill editors who opined "Former President Clinton is suggesting that President Trump is at least partly to blame" - think Martha would be *that* milque-toast about it?
