Well, it looks like Hillary Clinton is moving onto the latest offensive in her rampage against those who
she feels contributed to her defeat in the 2016 election: the media. At Recode in May, a tech conference in
California, she said that the media covered her emails like it was Pearl Harbor. She also says that the press
didn’t do their jobs last year, and that they “can’t bear to face their own role in helping elect Trump, from
providing him free airtime to giving my emails three times more coverage that all the issues affecting
people’s lives combined" . . .

. . . Amy Chozick, a reporter for The New York Times who’s writing a memoir on the 2016 campaign, spoke
to CNN’s Brian Stelter about Clinton’s remarks concerning the media. She agreed that the media doesn’t
like to look inward and say that they’re wrong. Then again, she added “the way she [Clinton] presents it
in the book is a little bit like it was our job to get Hillary Clinton elected.” Chozick added that it was the
media's job to inform voters about the candidates and how their agenda will impact their lives. She admits
that the press could’ve done better . . .

. . . Admitting that you suck is the first step to recovery. For Hillary, she’s afflicted with this notion that
people like her. It’s a terrible addiction made all the more tragic that no one can really stand her and they
hope she just goes away. For Democrats, they’re hoping she vanishes before she does more damage to
the party.

Chozick is right; it’s not the media’s job to elect Hillary. That was her job and she failed. She was a terrible
candidate, an atrocious campaigner, and the results were very much in line with those qualities . . .
