>>Has this campaign NOT touched any of the banality bases?
You can get a new president in due course, but I don't think the MSM can regain the kudos it sacrificed.
A wise man once said that if a potential employee will shaft his current employer to take the job you offer, that's the loyalty you can expect if you employ them.
The MSM is the same: having seen their venal behavior, even HRC will be wary of them going forward.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
