Hillary Clinton Again Shuts Out Media

[Purveyor]

We’ve been here before: Hillary Rodham Clinton lands in a major U.S. city for a speech. Her team bars the media from the speech. Local media documents the firm stiff-arm from Clinton Inc.

Happened in Miami. Happened in Atlanta. Now the San Francisco Chronicle’s Carla Marinucci reports it’s about to happen in San Francisco.

The former secretary of state will be speaking at a mammoth Saturday event for the National Association of Realtors at San Francisco’s Moscone Center. And later that day, she’s scheduled to appear at a “Millennial Network” event to benefit the Clinton foundation, at San Francisco’s Regency Ballroom, Marinucci reports.

Both events will be closed to the press.

Clinton is known as a woman who adores challenges: She took on the country’s health-care crisis. She took on the Senate. She took on Barack Obama. She took on the frayed foreign relations of the United States.

2. Anybody going to offer an explanation?

The article doesn't and I guess they're going to leave it for us to guess around about.

3. private events are private. but, private events where Hillary Clinton speaks

are in desperate need of live camera feed apparently

4. The process of shutting out the media

attracts media attention. If the media had half a brain they wouldn't fall for that stunt and wouldn't publicise it. . Mugs.

5. Private citizen making a speech.

Why are we posting anti Clinton BS?


If and when she becomes an announced candidate for public office then it would be appropriate.


The press doesn't have an absolute right to every conversation that a private citizen is engaged in.

wants them at any event? american journalism is dead

7. Does it really surprise you

She has wy too many skeletons in her closet. We need new blood not a lineage of rich ruling class families.

8. The events where the media is shut out are private events.

These are the ones where she is paid to give a speech. Every public event has been videotaped and a transcript of the speech has been available.

Why should a private event be made public? There's nothing to see here.
