Like the Senior Wisconsin Righty Blogger, on occasion I listen to NPR. Not for the pictures, silly: for the classical music and for Prairie Home Companion.
But of course, the NPR "news" bunch intrudes.
So I'm listening to them interview a WaPo reporter about the Clinton Foundation. NPR lady asked him 'whether any of the foreign-country donations were illegal?' given that such donations ARE illegal for political campaigns. And of course, the Postie said 'no, there was a FORMER President and POSSIBLY a FUTURE President involved, so it was legal.'
The listener could tell that the Postie was waiting for the next logical question--that is: "Was it germane that a sitting Secretary of State was an indirect beneficiary of these contributions?" and "are you aware of any apparent quid-pro-quos that COULD be a result of those contributions?"
But that question was not asked.
That, friends, is how the news is managed.
