Media, stop trying to crown Hillary Clinton

http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/03/opinion/kurtz-clinton/


The Page 1 splash in The New York Times the other day was a nicely executed compilation of ... sheer speculation. That is, the same sort of chatter that everyone in the political/media world has engaged in since the day after Barack Obama's re-election. And it immediately launched dozens of cable news segments to rehash the rehash.
....
The latest New York Times piece is just the beginning. The political press will plow this ground again and again until the former first lady makes up her mind. But keep in mind that the media don't get to conduct a coronation.

They are warming up the engines.

I am not a big fan of Ms Clinton, so I don't mind your debunking of her inevitability. I'll wait and see who wants to run.

9. Nope. I won't "get used to it". Funny how the "rightwing media" keeps pushing a Hillary run.
