"Former Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is back doing what she does best: selling books.
What Happened, her newest, doesn't feature a question.
It has answers.
Clinton blames the FBI.
She blames sexism and fake news.She blames the "godforsaken" Electoral College and the "deep currents of anger and resentment" running through society.
She also blames Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for out-promising her at every turn.
She probably blames clandestine Russian mind-control laser beams for persuading tens of millions of Americans that she was nothing more than a calculating, deceptive and insipid career politician.
And she blames the media. Political journalists, writes Clinton, "can't bear to face their own role in helping elect Trump."
Now, hearing a Democrat argue that the institutional media wasn't accommodating enough in helping her win an election is, I admit, a bit jarring.
Support from journalists is so embedded in the Democratic Party's strategy that any negative coverage—even something as unavoidable as writing about an unprecedented FBI investigation into a leading presidential candidate—must be quashed..."
