Every single time that there's been a suspicion of crooked behavior, the suspicion is proved true (unequal treatment of Bernie, personal email server / classified info., Clinton Foundation crookedness, health concerns). What's "gone wrong" is that there's not nearly enough that the press can accomplish to remove the stink. What's "gone wrong" is that the Democrats underestimated the skankiness of their candidate and underestimated the public's appetite for their candidate's baggage. What's "gone wrong" is that the press has lost all of its credibility because they keep saying yes when the Clinton campaign tells them to deny and cover up.
