First you had the NY Times publishing Clinton's Cash a piece of oppo reasearch by a paid GOP operative with a bad track record for accuracy.

Now CNN is rewriting the rules in an unprecedented way to use Biden to attack Hillary. Remember, every time the name Biden is mentioned it's implcitly meant as a rebuke to Hillary.
This is the law of every story about Hillary in the Beltway press right now is every story about her has to have a negative slant to it. And outlets like the Times with Clinton Cash and now CNN with basically holding Biden's hand and offering to carry him to the debate on its back shows just how seriously the media takes its roll as Hillary's primary candidate.
This is why I see the talk about Bernie not running a negative campaign as a joke. Why would he ever have to? He benefits from the media's incessant negativity about her.
Every poll has the numbers with Biden in them as the frontline number.
As Erik Wemple notes ironically,
"CNN seems to really want Joe Biden at its Democratic debate."
"As we saw over the summer, both CNN and Fox News struggled to accommodate a massive field of Republican candidates in debate formats; both outlets split the candidates into two tiers — JV and varsity — and took heat for the polling criteria used to establish the eligibility cutoff. Just a couple of weeks before its Sept. 16 debate in Simi Valley, Calif., for example, CNN amended its criteria in a way that accommodated surging candidate Carly Fiorina."
"When that debate was initially announced, back in May, the eligibility criteria were unforgiving about dithering candidates. “File a Statement of Candidacy and register with the Federal Election Commission by August 26, 2015,”demanded the sheet, in what amounted to a requirement that candidates file their papers nearly three weeks in advance of the debate."
"So that was for the overcrowded Republican field."
"What’s the corresponding criterion for the Democratic field? Have a look: “File a Statement of Candidacy or publicly state that a Statement of Candidacy will be filed with the Federal Election Commission by October 14, 2015,” requests the sheet. In other words: No need to file anything, Joe."
Interesting how different the Biden rules are than the Hillary rules. Does the RNC write CNN and the Times checks? Or is Hillary bashing a labor of love?

It's the worst kept secret in the world. Look at the huge difference in the rules for the GOP debate.
"When that debate was initially announced, back in May, the eligibility criteria were unforgiving about dithering candidates. “File a Statement of Candidacy and register with the Federal Election Commission by August 26, 2015,”demanded the sheet, in what amounted to a requirement that candidates file their papers nearly three weeks in advance of the debate."
