What the First Amendment was made for: Media swarms to cover Hillary stepping out of her van in Iowa

Via the Free Beacon, can I call something a “palate cleanser” if it makes me lose my will to live?

This is sort of a fair point by Gabe, but c’mon:

If you're job is covering Clinton and she tripped, fell out of the van and you weren't there, your boss would be like: clean out your desk.

Okay, but if the only “newsworthy” angle to an event is the slim possibility of a catastrophic mistake, how is it newsworthy? If saturation coverage of the eagle landing in Iowa is justified on this ground, so is the moronic coverage of her trip to Chipotle yesterday. Imagine if she had barfed after eating her burrito. Page one.

When you’re done with this, I highly recommend the Beacon’s “yakety sax” Vine remix.
