Time will tell, but it looks like today they are featuring Hillary even though
the action and news has been with Obama issues (climate change in Washington) and mega rallies.

3. it was clearly a win for them.
Crying foul and getting a little extra press. But I don't think it will have an impact in the long run.

4. Next Im waiting for Hillary or Bill to say
"You're either with us, or you're for the terrorists".

I think I've seen this kind of media intimidation before.

6. You'll wait until hell freezes over for that.
And, for the record, this flap is not about intimidating the media; it is about holding the media accountable for its lies, exaggerations, prejudices, and gratuitous politicking for or against one of the candidates.

That Schuster is a good guy and could still so easily and obviously insult the Clintons is indicative of how low the reportorial bar has been lowered when it coms to truthful coverage of them.

When you consistently go too far, you are eventually called on it. That's what happened here.
