“This is the day historians will see as the most important day of 2016 because it’s the day the political news media lost its mind,” liberal MSNBC anchor Lawrence O’Donnell said Monday night, a day after a wobbly Clinton was filmed receiving help to get into her van.
He then launched into a 16-minute-long diatribe about how a candidate’s health is low on the list of voter concerns.
O’Donnell’s voice was echoed by other liberals.
“There’s a near fanatical attitude amongst the press over anything having to do with Hillary Clinton that most politicians get a pass on,” one Clinton ally told The Hill.
“Some of this is because their bosses are desperate to create a 50-50 race because that drives more clicks, and some are terrified of right-wing accusations of bias. This is where false equivalency comes from and it’s helping to keep Trump in the race.”
