2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumYou can't tell me the media didn't know about the pneumonia outbreak at Team Hillary
There are embeds from every network traveling with the Clinton campaign. We see them on TV every night. They talk to campaign leaders constantly.
Are we really to believe that these media insiders were in the dark about the illness making its way through the Brooklyn office? Are we to believe that nary a soul in that office asked said embeds to keep their distance because said soul was feeling under the weather? Are we to think the obvious question of "hey, you look a bit under the weather. What gives?" was never asked by the intrepid media reporters who pride themselves on ferreting out insider info?
I call bullshit. And I also predict that at some point we will learn that the media was well aware of this mini-epidemic for weeks.
You would know if your own workplace was suffering from such an epidemic. Campaigns are the workplace of these embeds. These embeds form relationships and friendships with campaign staffs that go well beyond your run-of-the-mill working relationship. Hell, Robby Mook had pneumonia! Surely they knew.

(24,396 posts)The illness that sickened Hillary Clinton with pneumonia and caused her to have to be escorted away from September 11 ceremonies in New York on Sunday also struck down several members of her campaign team at Clinton headquarters in Brooklyn, PEOPLE has learned.
"Everyone's been sick," a campaign source tells PEOPLE.
At the end of August, two weeks before Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia, a debilitating bug was making the rounds among staff at her headquarters and campaign aides who travel with Clinton, a source tells PEOPLE.
At least half a dozen senior staff were felled, including campaign manager Robby Mook. Two top advisers even needed emergency medical treatment, the source says. One top adviser diagnosed at a Brooklyn urgent-care center with a respiratory infection was being treated with antibiotics in the days before Clinton's diagnosis. Another top adviser was taken by ambulance to the ER by ambulance after collapsing from what turned out to be severe dehydration."
