the huffington post chided her for apologizing, backbone, they are deplorable. >> that sort of plays through in the coverage that she should not have said it but the press gets that some of them are deplorable. i have to disagree with the idea that the press underplayed this. look at the press including social media there was enough noise that she had to apology. the press rightly compared it to the 47% comment that mitt romney made to remind everyone he said 47% of obama supporter are really people who are dependent on the goodies he gives out through government these are very, very important moments for the media to core because it is a time when a candidate is being at a fundraiser, so you do not think they get full coverage, and it is a look at how that candidate sees the supporters. >> the romney comments were leaked or secretly taped, there were cameras but "politico" jump on it, trump campaigned to demand apology and were "washington post" said republicans jump on deplorable remarks of hillary clinton so it is a political food fight not that journalists think there is anything
