In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton doesn’t need the media, and it’s driving the media crazy [View all]azureblue
(2,155 posts)She is well aware that the media wants to turn this into a battle of personalities, scandals, and gotchas. She knows they will stay away from asking relevant questions on issues that actually affect the people of this country. The media has also shown instances of trying to diminish her by objectifying her as a woman. What I predict is this: she and Bernie will wind up in a debate. They will refuse to reduce themselves to the 7th grade intelligence level the media loves so much, they will refuse to be baited into attacks on each other or respond to attempts to turn the campaign into personality issues. Instead, they will stick to talking about what the people of this country need, and what their plans are to address that. And the media will be stunned because they have forgotten how civil, intelligent people talk.. And it's time we do that here. We have two great candidates, and they each have their own strengths. The GOP has doofuses.
