33. Avoiding cable news is great advice.

I haven't been listening lately and I'm in a much better place. Watching CNN or MSNBC stresses me out. I slipped up for a minute this morning, thinking maybe it'd be okay now that she's actually been diagnosed with something treatable.

NOPE. Boy was I wrong!

Now the line on MSNBC is that she "left the press in the dust again" yesterday*, and that the campaign should have explained what was happening immediately. And on CNN they're asking, "What does this mean for the campaign now? What are Dems going to do?"

The vultures can't simply wish her well and leave it at that.



*What's the deal with the press acting like they have a right to film and question her 24/7, even when she's sick? It's pretty disgusting.
