Limiting Government

For John, BLUF:  Yes, the Press would cover for a President Hillary Clinton, rather than doing their job.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

"Why the president needs to be white, male and Republican: Glenn Reynolds"

The sub-headline:

Media watchdogs snoozed while Obama expanded executive power. They'll wake up and bite when it's Trump.

Here is the lede:

The press has done a lousy job of protecting American freedoms in recent years.  But I have a modest proposal♠ for improving press performance:  Elect a white male Republican.

Like Benghazi, where the press totally ignored how the Administration stepped all over the Freedom of the Press.  It was a little item, a 14 minute movie trailer, but those little precedents can be used against the big boys later on.♥♦  Short sighted on the part of the Press.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.

♠  Note for Jack:  "modest proposal" is a Republican "dog whistle" for political satire.
♥  Lawyers have no shame.
♦  No, I do not think the Administration's actions lead to the death of the four Americans in Benghazi.  Do I think they should have been more forward leaning?  Yes, in the event the terrorists had other targets in mind.
