Compare CNN's treatment of Hilary to the Republicans. I don't think anyone can even pretend to deny the obvious bias.
Meanwhile, FOX, the supposed "best friend" of the GOP, went after the leading GOP candidate with a pitch fork.
FOX had their own intentions, which we all know... but seeing the softballs lobbed at Hilary in our current political culture is just laughable. She's surrounded by layers and layers of cushioning in multiple aspects (no, I'm not ripping her physical conditions).
Even me, a mere layman, could smoke Hilary in any true debate. There's so much dirt and conflict that she NEEDS to be "protected" from scrutiny, enough to get past rational debate and get to emotional, identity politics: "Racism, Sexism, AND LETS MAKE HISTORY!"...
That's all she's got.
