For another, it isn't "news" either. And just because it says something maybe you don't want to hear, it is not a "hit piece". People have got to get out of their information bubbles. Like it or not, she has flaws. They ALL do. There is no point in only listening to things that put them in the best light possible. THAT is propaganda.
