Wolf Blitzer just interrupted CNN with "Breaking News" Hillary Clinton is back on the campaign.

"Says she feeling great". Really Wolf. This is breaking news. Not only did she just do a speech in North Carolina, she just did a news conference with the Press Wolfe, right after that Speech.

Geeze Louise, the things that the press says. I had finished watching her speech a while ago, and they said she was going to have a news conference shortly. I watched that news conference for as long as I could stand listening to the media's dumb ass questions. None of the questions were serious questions, just the usual. "When did you tell Tim Kaine you had pneumonia? Who gives a shit at what specific time she told Tim Kaine? Perhaps like she stated, she didn't think it was a BFD that the world needed to know at that time. Heck

I heard Katie Kur asking members of the Trump campaign the other day, "When did Trump actually take his physical last week?" I heard her mention it several times to different Trump surrogates, and she never got an answer. I thought she must be on to something. She doesn't seem to believe that he even took a physical last week. The new 'report' that was issued today seemed to support her theory since it just seemed to regurgitate a compilation of a bunch of exams which seemed to have occurred over the course of a number of years i.e the blood tests, the chest x-ray, his EKG, some with specific dates and some with none. And Trump and the Great Dr. Oz get away with this crap. The note from the hospital just stated that Trump's wacky doctor had staff priviledges and was dated back in 2015. But Hillary is overcome by heat like that person who fainted at Obama's Campaign Rally two days ago, and the press acts as if she's at death's door and she will now forever have to notify the press whenever she has a bowel movement.

I don't get how that's bad. Would you rather they talk more about Trump?

11. It is not either/or. The media has 10,000,000 things to talk about.

They don't need to be dishonest and beat a dead horse. This is misleading and contrived. Blitzer is a tool and needs to just do his job.

7. I've thought the same: afraid, or just worthless at their jobs.

Time after time, they give Trump a pass. Possibly it's both factors at once: their confidence in themselves is so tissue-paper thin that they are afraid of an unguided missile like Trump. Edward R. Murrow they most certainly are not.

By any measure, it's the public that stands to pay the price for their fear and/or incompetence.

6. For CNN, all news is breathless "Breaking News"!

I enjoy the 2 hour wait when they announce "XXX is about to speak at any moment" with the podium and stage picture-in-picture down in the corner.

And STOP THE PRESSES if anything involves an airplane!

CNN has some peculiar foibles.
