    Fair enough, but I want repeat a part of my question:

    Sean Hannity is paid gobs of money. Hell, so is rachel Maddow. Do I think either one of them are better informed than the typical high level political newspaper reporter? No. In fact I'm sure of it. There isn't anything uniquely wise about either of them.

    So, given their voice is so much louder and well-supported than the typical objective reporter...since Hannity and Maddow are stars who can shape public influence...what, exactly, is the value of objectivity? Do we even value it? Does anyone really think it exists, and, if it did, does anyone care that it does?

    Further - what is reasonable objectivity? Should each story about Clinton or trump each be 4,500 words because each story has to contain the novel-length history of events, in case anyone didn't read the last story? Can any two people see objectivity the same in politics?

    Same ref awarded seven points and possession of the ball for that offense 20 years ago. Funny how that goes, hey?

    Wow. Michelle Obama really went after Bill Clinton today.

    What's that? You mean she was only talking about someone's words rather than their actions? Ah. Just another typical left-wing hypocrite.

    But the spread was Clinton +14 and Trump is covering.

    Rachel Maddow is widely acclaimed for being one of the smartest people in the industry, and not just because she was a Rhodes Scholar.

    You've finally convinced me: I will not be voting for Bill Clinton on Nov. 8. Thanks for opening my eyes and saving me from that mistake.

    Can't decide what speaks worse about those "people" to whom you refer ... what they forgave, or why they forgave it.

    Talk about damning with faint praise!

    I'd still like to remind people that if Bill Clinton did everything single thing he is accused of, he still didn't do it to underage girls like Trump.
