    I thought you were immune

    from this salon pro-clinton coverage, but here you go-- garbage.

    First of all, call her "Clinton"-- not Hillary or HRC. This first name stuff is an absurd usage in public life.

    Second, have you skipped the last fifty years in journalism wherein the voice of the journalist has been opened up with epistemic and moral self-consciousness? Who do you think reads you, a bunch of juvenile Republicans nattering like eighth graders about "bias"?

    Third, when a journalist thinks she or he is witnessing history, how should they talk about it? You given any thought to what these cynical, privileged, status quo figures may have witnessed that does not fit with your nifty dismissal narrative of Obama?

    You have the opportunity to think here, not just repeat. Use the opportunity!
