5. Damned AP
"One strategist". Would that be Karl Rove? This is the same typical AP framing and one has to suspect it conforms more to the opinion they want you to have than anything else. These "some" "some Democrats", "one strategist" need to be identified once in a while. We are not like the GOP, whose cloak and dagger garbage never gets reported on ever or commented on much by anonymous backroom sources, even if they solely imaginary ones.

They toss in negatives with every point they seem to make for a particular democrat. Mainly the MSM are trying to influence the race itself according to WH wishes and have been since the season started- if not before. AP as a news service is an expert in fitting as much spin as possible in a few short paragraphs or sentences. it almost sounds like required form for any journalistic piece were it not for the different treatment given even to clearly loser GOP candidates- or those not desired by the Royals.
