I'm SQUARELY with Bernie Sanders on this one. I'm "sick and tired of hearing about the damn emails!" I suspect, by now, that most of America is. Only the partisans and Hillary haters and those in the press who want to be the next Woodward & Bernstein because they got famous and became Pulitzer Prize-winners and got to the "top of the ziggurat" of the reporting profession for having brought down a President. I was just starting in the business after that whole Watergate era was winding down. That's what EVERYBODY in my peer group wanted to do: bring down a President and be the new Woodward & Bernstein. That's why so many of us wanted to get into journalism to begin with. Because of the possibility of having that kind of impact.
There also was a corollary to that, for women breaking into the news business in that new era. Any and every young woman I knew who had ambitions in the news biz wanted to be the new Barbara Walters.
