    No, dog-walker, if you read what people actually write, the attacks on Joan Walsh don't represent a "harbinger" or anything other than what she is rightly being criticized for: dishonestly promoting Hillary while pretending to be fair. EVERYTHING Joan writes (and every TV appearance I've seen) has some sort of negative take on Obama, all the while excusing anything that sheds a negative light on Hillary. I don't care if Joan Walsh is for Hillary, but she should do what I was taught in journalism school: endorse a candidate openly then try to be fair to both candidates in your coverage. This under-the-radar campaign of hers is yellow journalism. Another poster, Dave@Davis, leveled the same criticism as you and then went back and reread Joan's posts as a whole. He came back with the conclusion that our take on Joan Walsh was correct. I urge you and others who feel this way to do the same and see if you can still, honestly, say that Joan Walsh is being fair as she claims.
