You could honestly write dozens of books about media bias in relation to the 2008 campaign and coverage of Senator Hillary Clinton, no doubt many will. With that said, now that her candidacy is over it is a perfect time to sit down and reflect on what was, which is just what Tom Brokaw seems to be doing. From the linked article:

“It was inappropriate, for journalists especially, to try to cut the process short,” NBC News’ anchor emeritus, Tom Brokaw, told The Associated Press. “It was an appropriate issue for people to report on, in context, but there was an awful lot of commentary disguised as reporting that gave the impression that people were trying to shove her out of the race.”

Brokaw called all the discussion about Clinton’s exit a product of “too much time and too little imagination.”

I have been writing about my own feelings on Clinton’s extended exit, but I have to say up until the moment it was 100% clear she had no shot and all the contests were over, I too thought the endless calls for her to quit and the speculation by journalists was way over the top.
