...is that good reporting, or no?

What do you think Hillary is apt to say that is believable to you? Don't you already know what her 'agenda' is? Aren't there a number of journalists already outlining where Hillary actually stands on the issues?

Do you believe Hillary's really a progressive populist now, based on what's been reported about what she's said? That reporting has value to you? Bruh...

Over a year out from the election, this is a bogus complaint. She will say a great deal more about her agenda, and I'm certain you'll find more than enough reported about that to disagree with. Right now, it's just trolling, pretending that the press has integrity enough to accurately report where she stands and what she's apt to do if elected, based on her past. I don't really care, but to pretend caring about this is akin to caring about her agenda is pure bullshit. Save the outrage for the rubes.
