Eugene Robinson: Press bias isn't cause of Clinton's campaign problems

Clinton's sex isn't the reason | 4:38 a.m. Feb. 18, 2008

The arrogance of Bill Clinton's comments about the press is offensive even to those of us who are not part of that profession. These are men and women who have families and who do their best to provide
us with the information we need to make a decision.

The Press isn't biased against Hillary Clinton and can't be blamed that she doesn't have the ability to run a campaign, let alone a nation. What kind of candidate waits until a week before a state primary to open a field office in a state that they claim is a must win. What kind of candidate would be so fiscally irresponsible that they would spend their entire campaign fund on a handful of states? What kind of candidate would serioulsy consider throwing the election in Wisconsin to focus on Texas and Ohio in the hope that they will win in those states?

The answers in reverse order are 3) a candidate who doesn't care about the people of Wisconsin, 2) the kind who can't create a budget, and 1) the kind who can't make long term plans. The media and her sex can't be used as a cop-out for her incompetence.
