Now I understand why Hillary doesn't give the press interviews

[bigdarryl]

That CNN interview was disgusting not on Hillary's part she did good under the circumstances.But the questions were nothing but trust questions and the e-mail bullshit.No questions on what she plans on doing for jobs and the country.

1. Didnt see it, terribly disappointing to hear this. The rightwing will tell the MSM

what to ask both Bernie and HIllary and the MSM will do as told

[HFRN]

2. media in the primaries is always revolting

they'll talk about anything but real issues

[Thinkingabout]

3. I have been saying the same for a while. Until the press gets out of this rut there is not a need

to give them time.

4. It's CNN - what did you expect?

It's the network where even Ted Baxter would have been considered "too brainy" for the audience.

9. Ted Baxter...

5. So answer the questions and pivot back

To what she wants to talk about. I understand freezing out FOX but avoiding the rest makes the story about her avoiding the press. She better get more comfortable with press access.

6. You know, you don't have to only answer the question they ask.

Emails? I obeyed the laws in force at the time. But your question does bring up the importance of investment in technology and security. My plan is to... (and go on from there).

7. i don't expect anything different

from corporate news network.

they are pretty much fox lite.

8. She could have taken command of the interviewer… like Bernie does… and led the narrative.

She has a bazillion extremely highly paid advisors. Not one of them could have coached her into driving the narrative towards her own agenda with finesse and humor?

Jeesh. I've been involved with shoe string activists groups who led better media training and how to lead the media by their noses than Hillary.

And that is another thing Hillary. She regularly seems on the defensive.

10. Honestly maybe she should do some interview shows with Bernie

I think he could do a better job defending her from superfluous bs questions than she can!

I think she just doesn't speak well in public.

But if she can hold onto her lead and beat the GOP primary challenger I don't care how she speaks!

12. She could have worked in points and topics of importance to her to help make her case,

rather than just answering the questions to get through and be done with it. It was pretty clear she didn't want to be there. I realize the Clintons have endured ill treatment from the Media for decades but her attitude should adjust now. On RW attackers and immigration she appeared most vocal. Very defensive on the SoD emails of course. Seemed liked a very narrow set of questions/topics esp. after such buildup. But then it was CNN which is becoming more right.

I'm still wondering how and why she didn't utter one word about the actual Four Freedoms of FDR where she held her campaign opening event. Too few people today realize that many of FDR's reforms were democratic socialism, Social Security for one.

Would like to have heard her bring in concerns of people struggling with income inequality, decline of the middle class, college debt, racism and the need for changes to police depts. Also the TPP, high youth unemployment esp. among blacks, Hispanics and whites, and climate change. But I dream, none of those are allowed by the corporate media and are not part of the centrist neoliberal agenda.

11. Yeah, I understood before.. but thanks for the cnn report, bd.. it's expected!
