Instead of being a "reporter"...

Instead of being a "reporter", she apparently chose to be a unpaid intern for the Clinton campaign while at the same time drawing a salary from the New York Times. At least that is the impression one gets from reading this excerpt of Amy Chozick's book "Chasing Hillary" published in Vanity Fair.

Either Amy did not go to "Journalism" school, journalism degrees are not what they once were, or both (never underestimate the power of AND). This sample reads like a teen-age girl's diary of a week-end sleep over at the house of the girl the other girls don't really like but feel obligated to go to cause she is the head cheer leader.

I am curious as to why (as an example) the revelations in this chapter were not submitted by her to her employer for publishing while she was on the campaign trail with Hillary. Was it because Amy did not think it was the "truth" her paper wanted? Was it because despite all she saw, she NEEDED Hillary to win cause it was time for a woman Democrat? Was it something else or all of the above? Did she and her associates think that if they just kept putting more lipstick on this pig that they could help drag her over the finish line? To a degree I can get that. I get wanting "your" candidate to win so badly that pushing the fantasy you have in your head over the reality you see and experience makes some sort of strange sense, to a 6 year old but not to an adult who is supposed to be a professional.

You wonder why the media is held in such disregard? Why the label "fake news" has stuck (and stings you all so much)? Read your own book with "new eyes". Compare that book with what was actually published for the "deplorables" to read as the campaign was on-going. This would be submitted as exhibit A.

As a grown up, you are expected to not be so blinded by your hopes that you can't see reality. If you had spent more time actually looking at your candidate, her actions, reactions, and history, you maybe would have been able to realize that she was not and is not anything like what you wanted (a similar thing can be said about all of Obama's fans as well).

Look at it from my perspective for a moment if you could. The media did everything in their power to put a clean coat of glittery paint on Hillary and also did all they could to strip Donald to the bare wood. You showed Hillary in the best light you could even if it meant covering for and lying about her actions and misdeeds. You did all you could to show Donald in the worst light possible even if it meant lying and making up stories about him and/or not even doing the minimal amount of investigating expected of a "journalist". By election day, America was aware of every single Trump flaw real and imagined. America STILL preferred and picked him. Enough of us saw through your candidate and saw through you. If you and everyone else in your "profession" had bothered to actually do your jobs instead of acting like Clinton campaign interns, we all might have had a better choice. Don't forget, you all worked hand in hand with Clinton to make Trump the news until he won the primary because you all thought she could beat him easily. Just like your profession helped Clinton cheat to win the primary.

I was not a Trump fan during the primary season. Like many that voted for him, he was my second to last pick. There were any number of other candidates I would have been happier to pull the lever for but "you all" ensured that he was my only option. In hind-sight, thank you for that. I do not think the country would be where it is today (economy on the way up, employment on the way up, illegal immigration on the way down, conservative on the court, gov regulations on the way down, now this Korea stuff, wow) had any other Republican been elected (not that Donald is a Republican, but one takes what one can get).

As it seems that you in the media and your associates on the left can't seem to learn anything and are continuing to #resist, it looks like we are well on our way to 8 years of Trump. I suppose I owe you thanks for that too.
