4. Must tarnish Hillary at all cost

I started thinking last night about the election of 2000. There M$M harped about Al Gore's lockbox and spread outright falsehoods about Gore claiming to have invented the Internet. At the same time, they blithered on about how Dubya was someone people would feel comfortable having a beer with. Too bad that was false on multiple levels--Dubya is a recovering alcoholic so wouldn't drink beer and so elite that he would never DREAM of socializing with the average American voter. It was just enough to keep the election close so the Rethugs could steal it.

The result was an 8-year disaster that included 9/11, Iraq invasion, and the crushing of our national economy. Apparently M$M is okay with that because they are at it again--holding the qualified candidate to a ridiculous double standard and looking the other way at the looney tune leading the Rethuglican ticket.
