"Protective pool" reporters howl when Hillary ditches them for 90 min --but OMIT the fact that Trump
doesn't allow them to follow him AT ALL.

Press Access
In the same interview, Conway accused Clinton of treating the media as "second-class citizens" by keeping them in the dark on her health on Sunday. Clinton abandoned her traveling press pool, the rotating group of reporters meant to follow the candidate everywhere, for about 90 minutes.
That's unacceptable for an arrangement meant to provide the public with information in case of just such an emergency — a failing for which Clinton's campaign has acknowledged and apologized. And her campaign has yet to match the full level of access granted by previous candidates to protective pools.
On the other hand Trump — who has often attacked Clinton for hiding from the press — has no protective pool. Unlike Clinton, reporters do not generally travel on his plane to campaign events. His campaign has also prevented disfavored outlets from attending his events and suggested he wants to make it easier to sue reporters.
