Just two days into Hillary Clinton‘s re-relaunched presidential run, the campaign has already dealt a self-inflicted wound to its precarious relationship with the press.
Rather than send fifty reporters from fifty news outlets to a given event, press organizations typically set up “pools” of reporters who take turns attending events and filing pool reports of what happened. But on Monday, the designated print pool reporter, The Daily Mail’s David Martosko, was denied access to all pooled campaign events. ADVERTISING
The campaign’s denial comes after weeks of negative, tabloidish coverage from the conservative UK-based outlet. Most recently, Martosko critiqued many of his fellow reporters’ coverage of Saturday’s re-re-relaunch, tweeting, “It’s truly astonishing how many journalists at the @Hillaryclinton speech today reported exactly, and only, what the campaign wanted them to.” ADVERTISEMENT
The Daily Mail is a conservative-leaning tabloid. Everyone knows that. Everyone in the press pool knows that, especially the reporters Martosko not-so-subtly swiped on Saturday. If Martosko had filed an overtly biased, false, or substandard pool report, he would faced the ire of the dozen or so other political reporters who strongly rely on his reporting.
But instead, the Clinton campaign made Martosko the victim. They screwed over not just the conservative journalist, but a dozen other reporters as well. A campaign plagued by allegations that it is inaccessible to press fed into that narrative by overtly denying access to a reporter that other print outlets were more than happy to send as their representative. And as Politico’s Dylan Byers points out, the denial of access comes one day after the pool “threw a fit” when Clinton staffers kept them away from a conversation Hillary had with everyday Iowans.

She just needs a real good fourth launch ...
Don’t put it past her. It prevents her from having to answer questions.
This woman has had more failed launches than the early space program.
This is pure arrogance. Not a screw up.
None-the-less, she should recall the old saying about the press: never pick a fight with a person who buys ink by the barrel.
The Clinton campaign ONLY wants butt kissers. She’s in luck with the American press...
“Don’t put it past her. It prevents her from having to answer questions”
She should come up with a Max Headroom video character that will field all of her press activities. I can’t see the MSM negatively reacting to this approach, she could call it Max Hillroom.
I'm still waiting for an update about Orgy Island. Has she already answered those questions?
The good thing for her is that most wouldn't know the difference.
How many uninformed voters keep up with the Daily Mail though?
Or stated another way - How many uninformed voters keep up with any news.
She (and her handlers) know the less she says, the less that can go wrong.
When she wins the nomination, all these phony “outraged reporters” will fall all over themselves praising her as a “history making female” and will do all they can to coronate her highness.
She will never have to campaign like a normal candidate. She knows almost half the people will vote for her because she’s a woman. A little vote fraud will put her over the top.
Look at this article. It has Martosko’s tweets.
Hilarious.
Will Killary ever learn?
That’s why we call this the “Campaign of Contempt”
(contempt for the Press, for the public, for accountability, for the law, ...)
She needs Elon Musk. He knows how to launch.
she wants to behave like the aca, no one knows, just trust me she says..we no longer have a country..It appears all elected find out or were in on it, the fact that the world system has failed, they are waiting to kill christians and Jews off, and restart again as world dictators..
The Clinton Foundation admits only to "mistakes” in disclosing donors.
Among its "mistakes" was the mishandling of a $2.35 million donation from the chairman of Uranium One, a company acquired by the Russians (later used to assume control of 20 percent of U.S. uranium production).
The shocking compromise of US ntl interests was signed off under Hillary Clinton’s watch at the State Department.
The Clinton Foundation is expected to refile some of its tax forms b/c its IRS returns were falsified (a felony)......the organization says it “mistakenly combined” government grants with other donations.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU SUBMITTED FALSIFIED TAX RETURNS?
She’ll pay the press to let her phone it in.
