> more and more Moral Fashion Police on the democratic side of the isle

This hits the nail on the head. It's a moralistic sort of righteous indignation and it's profoundly, dangerously illiberal.

In addition, many of these are the same people who are pleased that HRC is not being challenged over the revelations in the email leaks so far.

I want whoever takes office to have been vetted as much as possible by journalists. How could anyone want their "side" to win so badly that they'd prefer their own candidate evade accountability (or vindication!) for alleged wrongdoing?

There has been very little adversarial press behavior toward either candidate... the press in this election has simply focused on stories that will get lots of clicks, such as those about sex, money, etc.
