Reply #5: What?

'Of concern to me is Hillary's continual purposeful frosty relationship with the press. She dealt with the shots given to her by developing an almost Nixonian attitude toward the press. If you wish to govern, having the press be hostile to you is a sure way to fail in achieving your agenda on issues such as health care. What is the prize of power worth if you fail to obtain policy goals?'

'Purposeful frosty relationship with the press'? 'Having the press be hostile to you'?

So you mean she really encouraged this hostility towards her in the media?

Did you miss that story in January about that busload of press people who PURPOSEFULLY gave HER the cold shoulder that wintry morning when she personally brought them coffee and doughnuts?

Would you not keep your distance, too, after having been vilified by the press for over a decade? She has been, in my estimation, very gracious and good-humoured about the horrible treatment she's received over the years. It didn't just start this primary season.

While you make good points about the money/profit motive in US media, good God - Hillary has been at least admirable in the way she's dealt with such abominable attacks from the press.

You might want to read McCamy Taylor's journals (on the right side of the page) to read about all this BS being thrown at her.
