Here's a question.

I don't watch a lot of cable TV so my perception may be wrong. However when I do watch, Jeff Weaver and Tad Devine seem to be interviewed much more often than top people in Hillary's campaign such as Robby Mook, her campaign manager. In fact, I've yet to see a Mook interview.

My question: Is this perception accurate? If not, who is on cable the most from Hillary's campaign?

Could it be that this is part of Hillary's strategy of dealing with the media?

...are hardly ever on. I think that's good - they've making fools of themselves and anyone watching that is trying to get an idea of the Sanders campaign can't be swayed because they're constantly beating on Clinton and saying they'll essentially disrupt the convention.

7. I think Sanders was the news story because everyone knows Hillary. I have seen some reputable

sources who have analyzed the general coverage of the two campaigns.

In spite of the sob story his supporters like to give, Sanders and his surrogates got a LOT more airtime than Hillary and hers. Like many multiples of time more.
