So, They've bickered for more than a month about the need for more press availability from Hillary.

She gives them almost 45 minutes yesterday.

And this is the story they file. Outstanding work, gumshoes.

Hillary Clinton Fights Back Coughing Attack

Hillary Clinton struggled to fight back a coughing fit while campaigning in Cleveland, Ohio, on Monday.

"I've been talking so much," Clinton said with a hoarse voice. "Every time I think about Trump, I get allergic."

The former secretary of state has suffered from coughing fits at times throughout the Democratic presidential primary.

However the frog in Clinton's throat on Monday was one of the most aggressive she's had during her 2016 run and left her almost unable to finish her remarks.

After the event, campaign aides attributed it to allergies.

If she were any more transparent, they'd be tracking every time she has to pee.

What am I saying...someone's probably tracking that, too.

Some of us are just more prone to dust allergies as we get older. My mom was the same way.

Onboard took a vote and agreed they could rightfully call it a press conference. But no reporting at all? So weird.
