CNN just had a short segment with Camerota, Mary Katherine Ham and Kirsten Powers, bitching about Kellanne Conway's use of the word "badgering." as usual, context was omitted. The Trump campaign does not object to inquiry, per se.

CAMEROTA: Well, Donald Trump, part of why people are calling for him to release his taxes so we do know how much he himself has given to charity. Will you or the campaign release exactly what that number is? And the reason I ask --CONWAY: I doubt it.
CAMEROTA: Why would you doubt it?
CONWAY: I doubt it, because this is like badgering. In other words, I don't see it as journalism. I see it as badgering.
In other words, we've had this conversation so many different times on so many different networks and yet we're not having conversation about what the middle class tax relief would actually mean for people's wage stagnation, a chronic problem --
CAMEROTA: But we do have that conversation at other times, but how is it badgering to a for the evidence of a claim? If Mike Pence is saying tens of millions of dollars from Donald Trump, shouldn't we see the evidence?
CONWAY: Did anybody ask Hillary Clinton for evidence that she was overheated and dehydrated? Is anybody asking her for evidence of why she thinks she's precious and special that she would have the secret service break protocol at Ground Zero on Sunday, Alisyn, and take her to her daughter's apartment rather than a hospital?
I mean, who are these people that there's always a different set of rules for them, we're always suppose to look at the other way. This network and other networks where presumptively protecting her and saying that she is fine --
Something comical about this is that CNN prides itself as being badgering. It's a good thing. It's what journalists do.

CAMEROTA: Journalism 101 needs to be reminded.CUOMO: We only do it for them [the viewers]. There's no horse in the race. No upside to you if you get hit in the head b the Clinton people or the Trump people. You're still getting hit in the head. You do it because the voters deserve the information, but that has been supplanted by this tactic. They now feel the media is against the voter, unless it's for their candidate.
STELTER: Which is why I should say we should look at the lens and when we're criticized in this way, the campaigns and the aides are using it as a shield. It is pretty obvious. Viewers at home I think and I hope should recognize it.
RUTENBERG: They shouldn't want it, it's convenient when they don't want us to ask certain questions when it's hurting their candidate, but shoe's on the other foot, it's a completely different thing. No one could keep sight on that. We have to ask these questions. And what's interested me yesterday with Conway was, she said to you, you're badgering, you're badgering, that's not journalism. Watch any movie about newspaper reporters or reporters in general, we badger. That's our job.
CAMEROTA: I mean, asking a question twice or three times is not badgering, it's looking for the answer.
Thanks for the update Cboldt, detect a lot of squirming with the pundits and shills beginning. It appears the lemmings are approaching the cliff so to speak!
