"There will be NO opportunities to interview Hillary Clinton; her speech will be her interview."

[Sheepshank]

189. avoiding vs. controlling. The press and it's messaging totally sucks..HRC should trust them?

I find it more amusing that the press is suddenly some noble, honest and trustworthy group that needs DU members to watch out for their best interests.

This 'avoiding' crappola doesn't really apply to the dissemination of any message, since messaging can be done outside of the press at times. Mass media omits when convenient and uses talking points out of context. Social media and Obama's team have shown to work in messaging, over and over. They can control the etirety of message and can disseminate the entire message without the filter of a biased media.

Hillary has been scewerd by the media at many turns...take Benghazi for instance. According to the vocal few here, she should suddenly be at their beck and call? Bullshit. The outrage is that interviews are not being done in the manner (the press) and at the time of someone else's choosing is ridiculous. Her timeline, her campaign, her decisions. I can see why she wants her campaign rally to be the official announcements of her platform, and not the misdirected, lying, twisted, out of context, cherry picked words the media is so want to do.
