From Scandal To Farce: What The Clinton Email Coverage Tells Us About The Press HRC Room

HILLARY CLINTON ROOM

ERIC BOEHLERT

When the story of Hillary Clinton's private email account first broke in March, the Beltway media's response resembled barely controlled hysteria as pundits searched for adjectives to describe the impending political doom in store for Clinton.

Ron Fournier at National Journal immediately announced that perhaps Clinton shouldn't even bother running for president, the damage she faced was so grave. And New York Times columnist Frank Bruni wondered if the revelation meant Clinton had a secret political "death wish."

According to the nattering nabobs of negativism (to borrow a phrase), the revelation that Clinton had used a private email server while secretary of state was possibly the story that would doom Clinton's White House hopes.

1. While Hilary is stills my second choice,

I understood that the email that Hilary has already turned over prove to show her in a very good light. She is a hard worker, a well liked employer and has a great sense of humor and is general a really nice competent person. Also I believe that a lot of politicians and federal employees use private servers. I also read somewhere (no link) that Romney took all his records with him when he left the governor's office in MS,

I just wish that the media would stick to real issues instead of playing Gotcha with all the candidates.
