Instead of with corporate media is a terrible thing? Please, if she spent the next 19 months talking to the media you would be complaining "she's being shoved down our throats", "crowding out other Dem candidates", and "Clinton fatigue". And by the way, please find me where Hillary complained about being forced to talk. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Sorry, media, no one wants this horse race started 19 months out. JaneyVee May 2015 #1
