CNN: Hillary Clinton Not As Accessible To Media As Her Campaign Says (IOW: More LIES)...

Oakland, California (CNN)Hillary Clinton's national press secretary on Sunday defended his candidate's lack of media availability by overstating the frequency and length with which Clinton speaks with her traveling press corps.

Clinton has not taken questions from her traveling press corps since May 9, when she held a short media availability in Stone Ridge, Virginia, after a roundtable at Mug-N-Muffin, a local coffee shop.


Golly... Wonder WHY?

Flooding the board with these posts is not going to make Sanders the winner. He lost, so just get over it!

And at the convention, the Presumptive Nominee will become the Nominee.

He's lost the popular vote and the pledged delegate count, nothing is going to change that at this point. Of course, perhaps he did win and Elvis will sing at his victory party.

I read recently her aides said she is "uncomfortable" with the press conference format; and the same reason was given for why she doesn't hold big rallies--she's "uncomfortable" at big rallies and prefers small intimate "town halls."

It is quite clear that Clinton is avoiding the press and the public. What kind of frontrunner is this?

with media watching:

... Kessler explained in the book that when Mrs Clinton is in public, she smiles and acts graciously.

'As soon as the cameras are gone, her angry personality, nastiness, and imperiousness become evident,' he wrote.

'Hillary Clinton can make Richard Nixon look like Mahatma Gandhi.'...

Whenever her guard is down, her contempt for people outside of the top 0.1% and for anybody who doesn't bow down to her is evident.

Terry Gross is amazingly easy for people to get along with. So I was shocked when Hillary Clinton turned ugly on her in an interview. First time I've heard anyone get that way toward Terry Gross.

For some reason the people who vote for her either don't even notice or are voting for her for some other reason than for what she says.

It's one I agree with. Left wing corporate media is a conservative lie. Sorry it isn't a lie that concerns you. That's ok, Clinton will give them the back of her hand for me.
