78. I agree. Things she did never got reported.

Remember the little girl who wanted to change her name to Lillary, and the great letter Hillary took time out from her campaign to answer? That story made the round of Hillary supporters, but I never once saw it on the MSM. And there were dozens, if not hundreds of stories like that - nice things she did - that sank like a stone with the press.

Do I hold the media complicit? You betcha. Look at Matt Lauer wasting over a third of his time in the CiC forum on emails, rather than letting her flex her foreign policy chops. Look at Anderson Cooper, never bringing up climate change or women's issues, both of which would have showcased her strong points.

Over and over and over. I will never lose my bitterness over this election. Never.
