The Main Stream Press Betrays Their True Motives Once Again

Today in Politics: Hillary Clinton’s Busy Week Presents More Opportunities for No Questions




Mrs. Clinton will head to Iowa and New Hampshire this week to focus on small businesses, her busiest stretch since she declared her candidacy last month. Whether she begins engaging with the news media again remains to be seen.

She has gone more than three weeks without taking questions from reporters, a fact highlighted by the multiple media availabilities and interviews many of her Democratic and Republican rivals gave in the last week alone. She still hasn’t faced questions about her family’s foundation, or the $25 million she and her husband have made on paid speeches since January 2014.

Maybe if you asked her questions that affect our nation and ordinary folks such as:

-Access to health care
-Trade agreements
-Marriage equality
-Turmoil in the Middle East
-reproductive choice
-police misconduct





you would have the moral standing to criticize her reluctance to engage the press.

People would complain she's being shoved down our throats. Neither the Dem or Repub field have fully announced. This is going to look silly when in 10 months she's all over the media and look back at those 3 weeks she didn't engage the media 19 months from the election.
