The press was not duped. They were only too happy to change the subject and deflect scrutiny from Ms. Hillary. They have eased the way for the Clintons and other left-wing dirt balls for decades.
Conservatives are too busy eating their young to ever mount an effective counter attack.
They are only looking for a reason no matter how flimsy to pound on a Republican or boost a Democrat. If THEY have to manufacture it, it looks contrived. But, if they seize onto a statement no matter how idiotic offered by their left-wing candidates, then they are just reporting and happen to have chosen the subject most beneficial to their candidate. Thanks, Paul Dickison There is no doubt the media have a left-wing bias, and that bias often manifests itself in the form of favorable coverage for the Clintons. But in the case of Hillary s Red Herring, it is media incompetence, not media bias, that is to blame.
