Once I get done with my comprehensive exams on Wednesday, I plan on making at least a few posts on the subject of how the media has shown signs of bias against Obama rather than Clinton, at least since Clinton sold them on the notion that she's been unfairly treated.
But the latest article in the NY Times on Clinton's mismanagement of her campaign does not serve my cause. That her campaign is poorly managed is hardly news. And this did exactly nothing to move my state of knowledge on the subject. They planned on firing Solis Doyle, but the New Hampshire victory put that decision on hold! Who doesn't know that?
This is a campaign with serious transparancy problems; a host of highly dubious claims; and a pronounced disrespect for the intelligence of its audience. So we get yet another article on the one failing of the campaign that is universally acknowledged. It would be cynical in the extreme to suggest this was an example of the media doing its best to distract attention from the real problems with Clinton's candidacy. So I'm not going there.
And it is the case that the fact that she can't manage her campaign would seem to call into question her claim that she'll be ready on Day One. OK. Definitely a negative article on Hillary, albeit a repetitive one. Call Tina Fey!
