Now that Hillary is officially in - The Media CANNOT have it both ways.

They cannot sit there and go on and on and on about Hillary was married to 2-term President Bill Clinton while barely mentioning that Jeb Bush is the brother of 2-term President George W Bush - and repeating the already proven lie that Jeb is his own man (he's working with the majority of his brother's advisors - esp on foreign affairs).

Sorry.

If they want to talk about what she did as secretary of state, fine BUT they need to talk about what Jebby did as governor of Florida.
They need to talk about what Rand Paul and Ted Cruz have done as Senators of the United States.

This is not all about Hillary.
This is about ALL of the people that are running for President. So far, from what I have seen, the only mentions of the other candidates has been their reaction to Hillary.

I will hold their feet to the fire even if I have to spend an hour every day sending off emails and making calls.
And I am not even a huge Hillary fan BUT she deserves to be treated in the same manner as all the other candidates.

They always have. A single instance of many: They turn Kerry into a Swiftboat villain while deflecting AWOL George's story into an attack on Dan Rather.
