I think kevkrom’s explanation is correct. Occam’s Razor: the simplest answer is most likely the correct one.
“The simplest answer in this case is that the left-wing media is annoyed by the amateurishness of the recent attacks, and their too-early timing. They have to condemn them to protect their own reputations.”
Plus, the MSM is starting to fear they have gone over the top, and are worried about a backlash.
I think the media have realized that too many Americans are turned off by Liberalism’s hate and nastiness. The media wants to project a softer image leading up to election time. If Obama is re-elected, then its back to brutishness as usual.
I don’t see how anyone can not understand what the media is doing right now. This is only damage control for their sorry arses because they’ve been on constant attack. They still love this book and the smears and lies against this woman while trying to claim they’ve been fair. There’s too much to show they haven’t and it will come back at them should she run because they’ve never gone after 0bama and know she would make that an issue and has made them an issue.
