    And the nightly news and newspapers wonder

    why they're losing viewers and readers. Who is really in a deathspiral, Hillary Clinton, who has a senate seat to return to if she loses the nomination, or the traditional media who are becoming less and less important by the day. While other media spring up to fill the gaps (like Salon, DailyKos, FireDogLake, etc.) providing honest, objective journalism, the dying corpus of an antiquated press corps show how out of touch with America it really is. These same buffoons, I mean pundits, are the same people who only weeks ago were telling us how inevitable Hillary Clinton's nomination was after all. Yes, these are the same people who when looking for a new voice for the New York Times opinion page found William Kristol, a man whose only qualification seems to be that his is consistently wrong about everything. Thank you, traditional media, for only hastening your own demise. You will not be missed.
