Another media push to keep the Hillary-Obama feud alive

By Creature

I'm not saying there is not a controversy, or a conflict, between Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice over whether Rice will get her own transition team in Washington (something rare for a U.N. Ambassador), but when the article "reporting" on these so called "cracks" in Obama's foreign policy team says, "Officials with Clinton's transition team declined to comment on the matter, and aides to Rice could not immediately be reached," I have to wonder if the author isn't looking to create a controversy out of whole cloth.

Hillary could be totally on board with Rice's independence or she could be spitting mad, but without her comment is there really a story here?

Update: Ta-Nehisi Coates smells the same fish.
