I cracked open the latest Newsweek this morning and was disappointed to see that their Conventional Wisdom section is perpetuating the myth that Bill Clinton called Obama's campaign a fairy tale.
As recorded in the Congressional Quarterly and reported by Media Matters for America, what Clinton actually referred to as a fairytale was Obama's claims that he was against the war from the jump - still fighting words, but hardly the blind and condescending slam the media is reporting it to be.
Rob sometimes jokes about racism, sexism, etc, that he can think of plenty of reasons to dislike people other than their ethnicity, gender, age or whatever. I think the same can be said here: there are plenty of reasons to criticize the Clintons other than comments taken wildly out of context.
Yet again, way to go, media.
