Yesterday it was announced (badly) that Hillary Clinton would, as expected, be running for president.
Mark Halperin, who feels confident in the Dems’ bench strength heading into 2016, took on any notion of a pro-Hillary bias in the mainstream media:
There's literally nothing on Earth funnier now than conservatives on Twitter who think @HillaryClinton is enjoying a honeymoon w/ the media

“Literally”! Been hanging out with Joe Biden too much?
You just knew Paul Begala would agree:
@MarkHalperin @HillaryClinton Funny. But kind of pathetic too.

Halperin’s correct … in a way:

So there’s that.
Much of the MSM and apparently Halperin too are fresh out of self-awareness:
.@MarkHalperin How was the secret journalist dinner at John Podesta's house Friday night? https://t.co/D1GGk5CyIS

@MarkHalperin @HillaryClinton you're delusional Mark. Hillary destroyed a server and you people believe and report everything is ok.

She's avoiding media (unless it's cozy, private, off-the-record dinners) and paying no price.https://t.co/WnmopUl3uj

If the media did their job Hillary wouldn't even try to run. She's a walking scandal with a hospital sign as a logo! https://t.co/5WOXv6isth

Does Halperin need a very recent example to remove the grin?
Except maybe Chuck Todd's Twitter feed. RE https://t.co/txVBTDB8Ld

@MarkHalperin can't imagine why https://t.co/DILg25zhf3@HillaryClinton

And that’s just one of the examples.
