Clinton mischief

Senator Hillary Clinton is up to the elite bureaucratic behind the scenes mischief as usual. The article by Brad Watson of WFAA-TV posted at WFAA.com, delves into Senator Clinton’s attempt to save her campaign, but he played it a little to safely. Watson comes across as very casual in his explanation of the Senator’s actions. The super-delegates are assumed to be off limits to persuasion and are expected to vote as they see fit. Although, it is expected that the candidates will try and influence an election through the delegates, but there is a limit to the influence. Senator Clinton is bordering on unethical. Senator Obama has fewer super-delegates than Senator Clinton, but he argues they should reflect the voter.
Watson should have explored more of the shady aspect of Senator Clinton’s dealings. It seems as if he is reporting on the issue and ignoring the other side and every issue has two sides. Reporters should always present both sides of an issue without bias. This is one of the biggest problems with today’s journalistic media.
