"The Dems suck"

My favorite blog, Hullabaloo, makes a great point today:

Now that the press beat up on Barack Obama for a few days it's Hillary Clinton's turn. The WaPo runs an inside baseball piece about internal hatred among her staff, which is not really germane for A1, but certainly germane to push the narrative that this extended race is dooming the Democrats.
[. . .]
The media has also unilaterally decided for us that negative ads won the race (actually, since the ad buy was tiny, the media COVERING the negative ads contributed to the victories, along with in larger part the demographics and the fact that Obama's voter contact and organizing strategy diminishes in very large states), and that the problem was that Obama didn't "fight back" even though he put out a competing "It's 3 AM, you should be afraid but for a different reason" ad within a matter of hours, and sure enough, the next day a story with the headline Lesson of Defeat: Obama Comes Out Punching can be written. So the press gets the knock-down drag-out fight they demand, pushing FURTHER the story that Democrats are fighting, Clinton supporters hate Obama supporters, Obama supporters hate Clinton supporters, and nobody will show up to the polls in November.
[. . .]
So here we have a story where Obama is winning but really losing, matched by a story where Clinton is winning but really losing. Message: Democrats are losers. The entire campaign is colored with this theme: it's not about how Democrats have two talented and resilient candidates, it's that they both suck, the party is weak and about to explode. Never mind the facts.
[. . .]
Expect bullshit like this for the next seven weeks. And read critically.
