Is It Time For The Press To STFU About Hillary Clinton’s Press Conferences?

[KMOD]

There is a very stupid controversy happening right now, about whether Hillary gave a press conference on her aero-plane, or whether it was a press gaggle, and did Asshole Hillary even give the traveling press the correct flavor of ice cream sandwiches afterward? She did not. Has it been 275 days since Hillary gave a press conference, or has it just been a day and a half? This is an IMPORTANT QUESTION.

3. A "press conference" is a show

The reporters play actors who get to be on television to deliver their well-prepared (but not necessarily informative) questions, many of which already have been answered or could be answered with a little leg work.

Even though the aircraft carries are fairly large (42) press contingent, and Clinton makes herself available to answer their questions, it won't count as a press conference in their minds because the cameras aren't pointed at the reporters.

It would be nice if they set up a better sound system on the airplane, however.
