Both Sides Now

As Trump's campaign continues its implosion, the media continues to hammer Clinton for supposed influence peddling for contributions to the Clinton Foundation.  Of course, as Clinton's income taxes show neither she nor Bill Clinton derive any income from the Foundation which is universally praised for its good works around the world.  There seems to be precious little smoke and no fire, so why does the media continue to flog this story line?  Without it, they would have to cover the fiasco of The Donald's campaign without a counter narrative of discord in Hillary's.  Meanwhile, Trump gets a pass on releasing his income tax returns with the corresponding scrutiny such a revelation would entail.  This continuing coverage highlighting Clinton's supposed missteps is the sine qua non of "Both sides do it" journalism and punditry.  It will only get worse.
