Just now, NPR announced that while Hillary Clinton was speaking to a labor groupl, she continued to swear up and down that she fought against NAFTA even after the release of her papers proved that she fought FOR NAFTA.

Is the media in this country truly that bad that they forget that their job is not just to report that someone said something, but to find out if that something is true? Perhaps provide a little context for those remarks?

Context like this.

At this point the only reason I can see for voting for Hillary Clinton would be that she’s a woman. And that’s just not good enough a reason for me.

It is kind of amusing that the quote that’s all over the current Yahoo and BBC headlines on my screen is “Clinton says she will fight ‘like Rocky.’”

After all, Rocky’s a fictional character, too. Just like the one Clinton’s playing on the campaign trail.
