If you're gonna link to an article, you are also linking to the comments published with same. So don't shoot the messenger, folks! As the trial judge says to the objecting attorney, "Overruled. You opened the door, counselor!" All of these are from the OP's link:

The piece is essentially an example of a political hack already in the tank making apologies for her candidate as well as the increasingly surreal campaign being planned by the candidate's handlers.

It seems, Joan Walsh. that you suspended all critical reasoning powers when you attended that "briefing." You "learned" all these things from Ms. Clinton's highly paid consultants, but you didn't actually do the job of a reporter and question what you were being told, even though the Clinton machine has historically been a lie factory.
They told you that the Clinton Cash revelations have not hurt her in the polls and you believed it! But the latest ABC and CNN polls show that 58% of Americans now regard Clinton as dishonest, and her match-poll numbers against Rand Paul have dropped a whopping 18 points since April.
Clinton cannot win in 2016.

Five Salon articles in two days on how the press is being unfair to poor HRC - supporter of domestic spying, co-author of the devastating TPP.
Number of articles on Obama signing off on the Patriot/Freedom Act's outrageous spying powers?
Zero.

I'll never forget a story I heard a few years back about Hillary regarding her time as First Lady of Arkansas. She was attending a Razorbacks game with a close friend when an elderly lady approached them and handed Hillary a gift - it was a pair of Razorback homemade earrings. (I'm sure they were a bit kitschy but...)The elderly lady carried on how she made them especially for Hillary, how she loved both Bill and Hillary and was so lucky to see Hillary at the game so she could gift them in person. While the woman was still present, Hillary turned to her friend and said "See what crap I have to put up with everyday in this state?" Apparently, Hillary was quite the consummate elitist even back then, surely embarrassed to be First Lady of such a backwoods "holler" Just imagine what that poor elderly woman thought. Hillary is as cold and calculating as they come. Voters, don't do it, please do not put this woman and her slimy husband anywhere close to 16 Pennsylvania Avenue

Hillary's campaign will collapse the day she actually speaks to people unscripted, and outside the bubble of sycophantic handlers.

Candidates generally don't have interviews at the 200,000 persons + rallys.
