Tabloid Journalism at the New York Times

Front page, above the fold in today's New York Times is a smutty piece on the Clintons unfit even for the National Enquirer. It's full of rumors and salacious suggestions about the Clintons marital life from unnamed "concerned Democrats." It's a piece of garbage, and I refuse to link to it here, but Digby has some appropriate comments:

Democrats be advised: the press is a bunch of braindead robots who are uninterested in changing their puerile Democratic storyline even in the face of the most disasterous administration in American history.It's shocking. You can love Hillary or hate her, I don't care. But goddamit the intimate state of her marriage to Bill Clinton is nobody's business and it NEVER HAS BEEN. If the gossip rags want to play this game, there's nothing anyone can do. But it is just shameful that the New York Times would go back to their cheap, tabloid coverage of politics when the world is on fire. I'm honestly stunned that this is happening again.
