Media strategist @TheRickWilson has a widely discussed piece at Politico Magazine about how Republicans should respond to the “fiasco” surrounding Hillary Clinton’s email:
Morning, Twitter. I've got a piece on how to handle the Clinton emails up at @POLITICOMag for your reading pleasure. http://t.co/ca68tMgg68
— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) March 9, 2015
In Wilson’s article, he stated that “Hillary really put a wrench in the media’s plans this week.”
Jay Rosen, a professor of journalism at New York University, didn’t agree at all:
Idiotic: "Hillary really put a wrench in the media’s plans this week." http://t.co/OJE0K9m8X5 Embarrassingly stupid.

@jayrosen_nyu Your hate sustains me.
— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) March 9, 2015
@TheRickWilson I don't hate you. I don't know you. Chances are you are a kind man and decent person. Your piece is dumb. That is all.

@jayrosen_nyu My read on the Clintons, their handling of the media, and their gameplan is based on long, long experience.

And anybody who’s kept an honest eye on the mainstream media will have noticed that a pack mentality exists, and it doesn’t lean to the Right:
Poor @jayrosen_nyu doesn't like that @TheRickWilson has a winning strategy, and is playing chess while the media predictably plays checkers

@jayrosen_nyu I use liberal tears for hydraulic fracturing. Works good. Lasts long time.

@jayrosen_nyu @joshtpm The media hates this story so much they started Meet the Press with it.

For added laughs, Rosen went back a few years and repeated this doozy:
From my piece in 2008. "Just so you know, 'the media' has no mind… It does not 'get behind' candidates." http://t.co/m0VkVQFKfO
— Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu) March 9, 2015
That’s funny!
LMFAO RT @jayrosen_nyu: From my piece in 2008. "Just so you know, 'the media' has no mind… It does not 'get behind' candidates."

@jayrosen_nyu you're not really dull enough to believe that, right?

@jayrosen_nyu Good one, man. Good one.

@jayrosen_nyu Nope, media doesn't have its own "mind" or agenda. http://t.co/hFHMtubtAY
