Perhaps My Faith Will Be Restored

I posted yesterday on the distressing lack of media cajones when it came to actually calling the bald-faced lie that Hillary Clinton told repeatedly about her 1996 Bosnia trip a LIE, and not simply reporting that she "mis-spoke" or "mis-stated" something.

Well, I have subsequently noticed a distinct drumbeat of negative coverage in my subsequent reviews of media items on this topic, with many media reports and news analyses portraying this incident in a very harsh light, as is appropriate. Of particular note is the following online commentary by Dan Kennedy on a blog hosted at the British newspaper website of the Guardian:

Very cutting, but honest essay about Hillary Clinton and the issues of trustworthiness and credibility. Dan Kennedy is a journalism professor at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.
