In the interests of "balance," R Martin, the following:

1. The statement about blaming "Hillary Clinton" is NOT fundamentally wrong."  It is fundamentally true--the President tweeted just that, the tweet is quoted.  However, what IS wrong is the act of blaming. 

2. Balance in journalism is achieved when a columnist (not a journalist) writes an opinion piece to off-set the facts-only news stories written by journalists. This is what Ms.Kendzior has done. 

3. "To anyone looking at this objectively, it’s clear that both sides were so pathologically driven to win at all costs, they were willing to get in bed with the Russians to win." May be true, R Martin, but this is NOT an objective statement...It is speculation.  The kind columnists often legitimately engage in...because their work is SUBJECTIVE, not objective.  

"Balance, please."
