      A few thoughts on this very funny screed by everyone's favorite oracle of journalistic wisdom, Professor Jeff Jarvis https://medium.com/whither-news/the-news-and-its-new-silent-majority-clinton-supporters-65dc5e0a4d76#.vzn8h7ysg …

      First, it's true that because the "Trump supporter" has been covered as a new, exotic phenomenon, HRC supporters have gotten less attention.

      That's not a function of anti-HRC bias, it's a function of Trump supporters being so alien to the cultural spheres journalists travel in.

      Next, there's truth to the theory that media often adhere to the ethos of "savviness" as their guiding principle, and this distorts coverage

      But covering the ethical improprieties of the Clintons is not done out of a desire to appear savvy or engage in superficial "both sides-ism"

      It's applying normal journalistic rigor to the person who is likelier than not to be the next president of the US. She is not a victim.

      Anyway, I'll leave it there for now. The whole post is a mess, and Jarvis seems well on his way to having some kind of meltdown.

          Hillary supporters are willfully blind, status quo loving sheep. Nothing newsworthy.

          People who say Trump is worse might be right. But "enthusiastic supporter" of Wall Street, pointless wars & the 1 percent?
