The major media outlets were the same, but I would argue that while generally they would be right but in this instance Hillary's perceived coldness and inhumanity is among (if not the) greatest objection many voters have to her. As counter-intuitive as it may seem, I believe that her showing human weakness makes us snicker at her, but at the same time helps us relate to her on a human level. Hillary is in the extremely uncommon position of being perceived as so calculating and so much of an insider that its a bigger obstacle to her nomination that she is too strong and political than that she exhibited weakness and foolishness.
