Has the MSM picked up Crygate Part II yet?
Has the mainstream media like Fox, MSNBC and CNN reported on Hillary's crying incident in CT like they did a day before the New Hampshire primaries?

I've seen blogs pick it up, but I haven't watched CNN, Foxnews or MSNBC all day.

Let's hope not.

I don't want her crying to influence one vote. That's not democracy. That's sympathy.

1. I don't think it would influence to her benefit tbh...
I thought it would in NH, but you can't do that twice and it work (not that I'm saying its fake, I'm just saying I think it wouldn't play to her advantage for it to happen twice)

2. It probably will work twice
Which is why Hillary conviently planned it for the second time a day before the primary.

5. Nope. Not at all in fact. I think this is a day-long DU story at best
By this evening, I doubt anyone even mentions it.

14. Ahhhh, #3 indeed
I guess she's a lot shrewder in her politics than many people give her credit for. If this tactic proves successful once again in a Tuesday victory, does this mean she will use it again?

10. She DIDNT CRY
THE MSM has picked apart the video of this event and there is no cry...at most it was a misty eyed moment.

12. CNN tried to
Watched a segment on CNN this morning with David Gergen, Carl Bernstien and some Republican big hair strategist. The CNN talking head tried to get legs under the story but Bernstein pretty much killed by giving the context and illuminated the silliness of these kind of stories. The Republican, of course, tried to spin what a bad thing it was but nobody seemed to be buying.
