I realize ahead of time that this diary is doing exactly what I'm arguing against doing. But, for gawd's sake ... stop covering the Clintons.
I dread one more day (if not minute) of the Clintons. Guess what? They lost! If it was by one vote or millions ... they lost! The MSM can't help themselves with this because they are not worried about news, they are worried about entertainment. And from the moment that the Clintons exploded onto the scene in the 90s, they've given great entertainment.
But, their time has come and gone. It is now the turn of someone else and his name is Obama. The Clintons aren't in the race anymore. They lost. Remember? Who cares about the wounded egos of losers?
There is no more division in the Democratic Party then there is in any party after a hard-fought primary. Not every voter in an entire party in a two-party system is going to be satisfied with their candidate. But, because in this case one of them is a Clinton, the MSM can't help themselves.
And the Republicans love it. Why? Because if the country is led to believe that the Dems are united behind one candidate, the Republicans don't have a shot. They are scared of a united Dem party and they should be. The MSM can't have that because then there'd be no drama. They need the drama, so that they can have ratings so they can boost their profits. Plain and simple.
Did Hillary do well last night? Yes. But, it is no surprise that news pundits are now talking about how "she really didn't mean it". Of course, they are going to say that. But, unless they actually do some reporting and find proof - evidence - hard and solid - that she didn't ... they need to shut the hell up.
What will Bill do tonight? Who the heck cares besides the MSM? He's not president any more. His wife lost the election. They are old news. We thank them for their service, but we have a new national leader now. His name is Barack Obama and he is in a fight with John McCain ... not Hillary or Bill.
Get it?
It's time for the Clintons to recede into the back of our minds ... and it starts with the MSM choosing NEWS over ENTERTAINMENT and reporting on the actual election ... not on two politicians whose best days are behind them.
