5. It's a measured response. As much as I detest it, the media does not want to make false claims

That may later undermine their reporting.

There were several commentators that cut through the bullshit, though, and laid it out clearly for us. Malcolm Nance, for one.

The media is beginning to swarm. This story has inertia like no other. It will envelop Washington and tune out any other news. Unlike Benghazi, this is fact-based and damning for dozens of GOPers.

The tide is turning. Be patient with the media. They'll be on board very soon.
