‘Godmother’ Hillary shows her mob boss side
Hillary Clinton lost her temper the other day. She said she was “sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me.” It’s hard to believe that this is what she’s sick of — since Sanders is, without question, the gentlest opposition candidate any front-runner has faced in the history of American politics.
The truth is likely this: She’s sick, all right — sick of having to run against Sanders.

I know the media wants a story real bad here, and the R-Tribe would like to deflect the poop currently swirling around them to Clinton and Sanders, but I just don't see it sticking. My opinion.

Re: ‘Godmother’ Hillary shows her mob boss side
Have to disagree, Hillary yelling at an activist and losing her mind is a story. It may not be as big of a story as Trump and the Republican nomination, but it should be covered and discussed.
Just because the R-tribe is a mess, doesn't mean that the Dems aren't having their own issues as well.

Yeah, it is a Murdoch Tabloid story !

Here is a CNN story about it. I guess they are controlled by the Republican led media now.

I am referring to the HEADLINE and the corresponding picture that your post referred to. It was typical Murdoch tabloid.
Of course the story has had other coverage.
In terms of this vs the Republican dust ups, this is really not a close challenger.

And I acknowledged that. But just because it isn't as "sensational" as what is going on with the Republicans, doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed.
I would really hate it if news organizations only focused on the most intriguing story and ignored all other stories.
While some on the Republican side would like to blow this out of proportion to take focus off their issues, there as just as many on the Dem side who would like to sweep this "under the rug" by saying it isn't as bad as what is happening on the other side.

Re: ‘Godmother’ Hillary shows her mob boss side
I will say this again. The story DOES have merit. The way that tabloids like Murdoch's Post report it turn it into a non-story as it is apparent what their motivation is. I hate this type of tabloid politics no matter WHICH side it is used for or against. It is unfortunately exposes the underbelly of politics and it is not pretty.

Re: ‘Godmother’ Hillary shows her mob boss side
Again, insignificant when compared to the ugly three ring circus that the Republican Party primary has devolved into.
Fred is right in his assessment.
Just one more example of the media trying to sensationalize an isolated instance as covered in the topic "is the media part of the problem with politics today?".
Now, if Hillary had told somebody to punch the questioner, or to throw the bum out, or sprayed her with pepper spray, or offered to pay the legal fees if somebody would sucker punch the questioner, I might not be so lenient. But, the fact of the matter is that this was really tame in comparison to the rhetoric and actions of Drumpf and Damien 'Trussed Ted' Cruz, and a lame attempt by media outlets to fire up some kind of outrage, but the attempt fizzled like a dud firecracker.
