10. Honestly, this is crap.

A) Most of Clinton's actual "YouTube moments" have involved him wagging a finger at some disruptor, and none of them have been scandals. The "gaffes" they point out are all moments directly created by the cable news media.

B) They are just more manufactured scandals, and in that way are no different than the zillions of manufactured scandals we saw in the 90s.

The cable news media has to fill 24 hours a day, so they fill it with nonsense, contrived soundbites, and spin. They say whatever they want, and repeat it until it becomes "conventional wisdom". Some of us remain unfooled.
