"There's nothing savvy about her position." She's a political animal. In the calculus of politics, what doesn't help you hurts you. Picking a fight over this would make her a hero to hacker types, but it could possibly burn bridges elsewhere. Unfortunately, media companies punch above their weight in this country. From a purely self-interested perspective, she made the savvy choice. Stating her disapproval without being too belligerent. Call it cynicism or call it realism - this is the way these things tend to happen. "It's cowardice to let the bill pass while talking about how bad it is. Veto the damn thing." I'm curious to know, since when, in recent times, has bravery been the hallmark of a politician? Almost by definition, the political class tends to be remarkably risk-averse.
