I'm not a Hillary supporter, but I'm also not a supporter of our sad mainstream media. This is a good breakdown of how ridiculous and hypocritical the coverage has been.

1. The title of the thread

perpetuates the myth that Hillary was crying.

The woman choked up a little.

4. Precisely why I'm suspicious of the dichotomy of the...

...reactions of many of the very vocal Clinton critics here on DU these days - to them, the moment in question marks her solely as either "weak" or as "calculating" - sounds awfully much like those right-wing, Rovian talking points that Cenk points out in his comments.

5. How soon we forget Dean's "scream." MSM got all wet over that.

7. Actually

Cenk talks about that quite a bit, and how irrelevant gaffes are made relevant by the MSM to the detriment of America.

6. This has long been a rule - only male politicians are allowed to cry

Pat Schroeder used to tear up quite a bit and got sh*t for it constantly. But male politicians can let the waterworks flow.

Weird role reversal.
