More fundamentally is the big time journalist's laziness.
They let a McAuliffe simply recite his talking points unchallenged.
Actually he was wrong at every point:
The economy was not in recession when clinton took over.
The economy was not in great shape when he left.
The terror attacks were planned and initiated during clinton's admin.
The trouble in Israel today is directly attributable to clinton's failed summit in August of 2000.
And finally, the economy is clearly in recovery today.
He is simply clinton's little lying bitch-puppet.
