Mainstream Media Slip? CNN Host Agrees Hillary should have left State Dept ‘in cuffs’

Eight years ago, when Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama faced one another in the 2008 Democratic primary, it became clear very quickly which one the mainstream media supported.  The then-junior senator from Illinois quickly rose from relative obscurity to beat the Democratic heiress apparent — largely thanks to a fawning mainstream media who refused to ask a single tough question of Sen.
