In my estimation, A.B. Stoddard of “The Hill” is as smug and arrogant a
creature as ever learned to run a keyboard. Saturday morning she informed some guy on MSNBC that Hillary Clinton should not be
arguing with the media. Really? I don’t care who likes Clinton and who doesn't;
personally she is way too far to the right for me. Her fitness or lack thereof to be president
isn't what I am on about just now. The
very idea that the media must be submitted to like some all powerful warlord in
an ancient city is beyond conceit and boarding on pathological narcissism.
One must ask what part of the common good the media serves
with its corporate agendas, gotcha games and propaganda. What gives Stoddard the right to demand that
the press’ questions, no matter how stupid, inane, incompetent and immaterial they
are, must be answered with a respect that she and others of her ilk seldom extend
to anybody? The bottom line is that
Secretary Clinton doesn't like the media. Hell most people don’t. I was
happy to see her callout a “reporter” for attempting to twist and reinvent the
facts. I for one believe that this
country would be much better off if more public figures kicked the ass of a
Stoddard, a Todd, a Gregory or any number of self appointed deciders of public
opinion.
