Crying shame

CJR takes on the ridiculously shameful coverage of Hillary's potential tears. Some of my office colleagues liken this quiet, honest moment with Howard Dean's famous angry outburst. You know, the one the ended his campaign. HRC's "moment," seemingly, has had the opposite effect in the short term.

I second Claudia's questioning of how the U.S. press conducts itself in this most important and vital hour, especially when I can hear the networks clamoring for any kind of ratings in the absence of actual programming. I fear that the writer's strike may have far more deleterious, reaching implications than not seeing George Clooney in a tux on Sunday. Which, incidentally, blows.
