2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Could you imagine the uproar if Clinton walked out of an interview. Hoo boy. [View all]Human101948
(3,457 posts)8. She's trying to avoid the mistakes she made last time...
Clintons strained relationship with the press this election cycle hasnt quite reached the toxic levels of the 2008 race, when not only were reporters given little access to the candidate, they also had to deal with campaign aides yelling at them.
No one expected Clinton, who is said to dislike the media, to become especially chummy with reporters this time around. But during the lead-up to her presidential announcement, insiders had suggested that the 2016 campaign would try to avoid the mistakes of the 2008 team in terms of handling the press.
