Budgetgate, or how the Media is Keeping their Job by making sure Hillary Clinton Drops out of the Race.

Budgetgate, or how the Media is Keeping their Job by making sure Hillary Clinton Drops out of the Race.

Is Budgetgate real? Did the media relentlessly gang up on Hillary Clinton in an effort to get her to resign from the race to save their own jobs?

Is it possible that the democratic race has gone on much longer than anyone anticipated and in combination with covering John McCain this has caused some news stations to go over their payroll budgets? Is it possible that the incessant "Hillary is dividing the party", "Hillary should quit", and "Hillary cannot get the necessary delegates before the convention" banter (Obama can't get the necessary delegates either) that has gone on for the past few weeks had a sinister ulterior motive?

If Hillary is out of the race, does it not become easier to cover the remaining two candidates from a logistical and budgetary perspective? ABC just announced a series of payroll cuts to trim their news budget. Could other news channels be far behind?

If there is even a smidgen of validity to my hypothesis, will the very people committing the act of manipulating the news so they can save their own job, report it? Doubtful.
