CBS News correspondent: Clinton is 'too busy ignoring reporters to insult them'
The Hill ^ | August 31, 2016 | Joe Concha

CBS News's Nancy Cordes said in report Wednesday that while Donald Trump takes a "combative approach" with the media, Hillary Clinton is "too busy ignoring reporters to insult them."

In a news package with a graphic reading, "No Questions, Please: Clinton Criticized for Having Few News Conferences," Cordes marked the 270th day since Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, held a press conference.

"Clinton did phone in to two cable news shows last weeks, promising, as she has for months, she will do a press conference at some point," Cordes said while showing footage of her shouting questions to Clinton to no avail.

"She is generally too busy ignoring reporters to insult them," the CBS congressional correspondent concluded.

Clinton's last press conference was held on Dec. 4, 2015.

In comparison, her Republican presidential rival has held 17 press conferences this year.

Clinton, in responding to CNN's Anderson Cooper's question about her aversion to press conferences in a phone interview last week, wouldn't commit to holding one before Election Day.

“Stay tuned," Clinton said. "There will be a lot of different opportunities for me to talk to the press.”

ABC trashed Hillary today and now CBS. I think they aren’t getting their tribute money from the Clinton campaign.

More proof that the worm has turned.

They’ve concluded they can’t drag her sorry, dying carcass across the finish line.

Full-court press is now on to get her to step aside.

Hillary is sleeping 18 hours a day.

Someone feels ignored? LOL

Hey, she’s in a coma. She can’t help it.

Looks like the muslim Fraud is trying for Plan B, to sabotage the election in as many ways as possible.

I think they are finally realizing that she will ALSO IGNORE AND AVOID THEM if she were president. She as to hide. She is a guilty criminal that cannot face the scrutiny of being questioned.

I have noticed some cracks. They screw up and report truth once in a great while.

Not for them to talk to her.

“Stay tuned,” Clinton said. “There will be a lot of different opportunities for me to talk to the press.”

Depends on your definition of the word “TO!” Hitlary would use a “press conference” to talk TO the reporters, not ANSWER their questions.
