Yes - that was a strange incident. I'm sure she is not the only politician who plants questions, but this was an exceptionally blatant example.
Still, if Hillary had responded with humor and some humility, it would have passed. But she is absolutely convinced she is absolutely righht about absolutely everything. It is this extraordinary, stunning narcissism that is causing her current problems.
The overwhelming, unquestioning support of most mainstream media sources for Hillary continues unabated.
The most recent is the jaw-dropping puff piece cover story in
Time, her most fervent base of support among the leading news magazines
Hillary: Love Her, Hate Her - TIME.
Even Joe Klein, usually a perceptive and original writer, praises her to the skies in a ludicrous tribute that ends with stating that she is an "excellent" candidate who can only be undone by "conservative hatred" and the "demons" of America's past. There is an accompanying article by Rich Lowry that goes even further, attacking conservatives for not appreciating her! Weird, foolish stuff.
She is no wsy responsible, according to them, for any of her problems.
This sort of fan-magazine coverage has now degenerated into trash - and the refusal of the media to address the problems with her campaign is backfiring. She is losing steam at a crucial moment.
