As Rachel Maddow said about 6 weeks ago, if Hillary found the cure for cancer, the Hillary bashers would still complain

The Clinton Rules are back in effect and HRC's detractors will take full advantage.

For the NY Times: good doggie, here's a treat.

I'm glad to see this getting so much attention in the media. The lie usually gets all the attention while the "correction" dies an oblivious death. Sec. Clinton doesn't deserve what the Times is doing.

Liked this:

In terms of journalism, this is terrible. That the Times article never discloses this is about an after-the-fact review of Clinton’s emails conducted long after she left the State Department is simply inexcusable. That this all comes from a concern about the accidental release of classified information—a fact that goes unmentioned—is even worse. In other words, the Times has twisted and turned in a way that makes this story seem like something it most decidedly is not. This is no Clinton scandal. It is no scandal at all. It is about current bureaucratic processes, probably the biggest snooze-fest in all of journalism.

The heavy breathing of deception or incompetence by the Times doesn’t stop there. In fact, almost every paragraph at the top of the story is wrong, misleading or fundamentally deceptive.

Hillary supporters more determined.

"The heavy breathing of deception or incompetence by the Times doesn’t stop there. In fact, almost every paragraph at the top of the story is wrong, misleading or fundamentally deceptive."

"In our hyper-partisan world, many people will not care about the truth here. That the Times story is false in almost every particular—down to the level of who wrote what memo—will only lead to accusations that people trying to set the record straight are pro-Hillary. I am not pro-Hillary. I am, however, pro-journalism. And this display of incompetence or malice cannot stand without correction."
