Clinton Campaign uses White Noise to Cover Up Her Speech to Denver Mega Donors
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is reported to have used a static noise machine on Thursday to block reporters outside of a fundraiser in Denver from hearing her remarks.
Stan Bush, a reporter for Denver’s CBS-4, who was stationed outside of the event, reported that the machine was held outdoors at the home of Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a superdelegate who has endorsed Clinton.
Clinton, who was holding a fundraiser Thursday evening in Colorado, was speaking outside at a private residence. Just when she started to speak, campaign staffers directed a speaker spewing out static noise at reporters hanging out across the street, Bush stated.
...
The site also stated that the Clinton campaign frequently uses noise in another way to prevent reporters from overhearing the candidate’s remarks. They usually do it while Clinton is shaking hands with voters at campaign events, as staff will crank up music to prevent reporters from recording their conversations.
