Truth, but that being said, with the partisan nature of the US media, who caters for the undecided? The Democratic media will exploit it for all it's worth, the Republican media will shrug its shoulders and highlight all the similar incidents that the Democrats have made, and the people who which one or the other will base their opinion according to their respective party lines.
So, really, the important matter is what the neutral news outlets (if there are any) are saying about it, because the others have already made up their minds about it.
