But really. This is a systemic problem.

Clinton campaign hires what, the daughter of Jorge Ramos, the big-shot journalist, so they have vested interests in her nomination. They hire Planned Parenthood chief's daughter and bring them into the circle so they're tied together in their mutually-assured success in their political career. And media people (and their families) run for office, expecting favors from the Clintons.

This is so rampant, and it should be unacceptable that power is so concentrated to a small circle of people connected by nepotism, and self-serving careerism. The problem in Washington is not just the revolving-door double-dipping pension deal they got going on between financial-corporate sector and the government. You see it in the media.
