This is what gets me so crazed about the phony way the media frames things, namely on Hillary. Since Kevin McCarthy's disastrous rollout Hillary is back on offense.
Now even teh NY Times says for the Benghazi Committee to shutdown.
However, there is still all this baloney about Biden. Right now I'm watching Chris Hayes' substitute, Alex Wagner. give a totally misleading analysis that Hillary 'is right to be worried' because Biden does better in head to head matchups in the general than she does.
I'm sorry but let's call it what it is: lying. Framing things in a misleading way is lying. It's true that Biden is doing better in hypothetical matchups in the general. My quarrel is the undue weight that Ms. Wagner and other pundits have given it.
Why should this matter more than Biden's numbers vis a vis Hillary which show her trouncing him across the board both nationally and state after state?

Often you hear people marvel that his numbers are so high and he's not even running but this is not a marvel: her numbers were higher before she started running too. Your numbers are always higher when you are not a partisan figure asking people for votes.
Every poll that insists on Biden in the topline numbers is artificially keeping down her numbers anyway as a straight up fight between her an Bernie puts her with close to a 30 point lead rather than 20 points with Biden's imaginary campaign.
Daily News Bin points out that there is another erroneous aspect of the poll's methodology-respondents are falsely told Biden is running.
"Nearly every major poll I looked at is phrasing its question as some variation of the following, with the names sometimes in a different order: “Here is a list of people who may be running for the democratic nomination for President: Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Martin O’Malley, Lincoln Chafee, Jim Webb.”
"The pollsters have deniability because they’re using the phrase ‘may be.’ But the reality is that most people who don’t closely follow primary politics are going to hear that list and think to themselves “Wow, I didn’t know Joe Biden is running.” And so most respondents are going to be picking their first choice based on the false belief that Biden is officially a candidate, which skews the numbers tremendously."
"Even as the republicans launch continual attacks on Clinton and even a few at Sanders in the hopes of preemptively wounding them both, and even as the media grills both candidates on the issues and then writes mixed articles about their responses, Biden is in a grace period where pollsters are telling respondents that he’s running – even as the republicans and the media are making no negative statements about his campaign because there isn’t one. In other words, he gets to play it both ways"
