...and it persists despite the buy-outs and the innertubes. The question will be: Will national "journalism" pick it up, or let it die. The national stuff still likes to set the agenda, and indications are they don't want this Bondi thing.

Again, MSM is punch-drunk from years of RW smash-mouth attacks on them as "left-wing," "biased," "commie symps," etc. And in its declining state, MSM fears another campaign to discredit them even further as "leftist." Besides, it can burnish its fading credential by bitch-slapping Clinton and Democrats, since that's what everyone does with NO fear of counter-attack or buy-out by RWs. There is the very real possibility that national MSM will give this some lip service, then the usual-suspect agenda will be picked up once more.
