As bad as Biden
Sen Clinton claiming that she got out of a helicopter under sniper fire and had to duck her head and run, when it is clear from video evidence that this didn't happen is as bad as Sen Biden's relating Neil McKinnock's life experience as if they were his own--which caused him to have to drop out of the Presidential race in 1988 (?).
The media should demand that she give an explanation as to how she could have "misspoken" about what would have been a vivid, traumatic experience. She should not get away with having her spokesperson explain this away for her.
Since the false (as in, not true) account of the landing in Bosnia was (i) contained in her prepared remarks; and (ii) differed from the account of the same incident in her book, she really needs to acknowledge that she simply exaggerated (as in, made up) what happened, or else she will be compounding the problem by lying about the lie.
Should this cause people not to support her candidacy? I don't know, but I do believe that she owes the voters and the superdelegates an explanation, and the truth.
