dear m$nbc. Hillary is holding her first press conference since declaring and you are absent.

[spanone]

wtf?????

they reported on it and cut away....but hey, there will be telling us what to do if sharks show up on your beach.

[onecaliberal]

1. They do the same thing to Bernie if they mention him at all.

But when one of the occupants of the clown car does something it's two hours of non stop news.

[spanone]

2. they are standing by for jeb

[onecaliberal]

3. See what I mean.

[spanone]

6. the media has been beating her up for not talking to 'the media'

and now she's talking and the 'liberal' channel doesn't have time to report it.

[magical thyme]

20. maybe she's blown them off enough that they've stopped caring

if you refuse to talk to somebody enough, eventually they get the message and wander off.

I could understand her limiting the time she gives them, especially early on. It's long way to go and the phrase "clinton fatigue" didn't arise without cause.

But maybe she took it a tad to far and now they're punishing her for it In which case, better to have that happen now, while there's still plenty of time to come back, than later.

4. During the interview with Bernie a couple of days ago...

...all Andrea Mitchell asked were questions about Hillary.

[blm]

9. The media is playing Dems against each other…as always.

Can't report on actual issues, can they?

[onecaliberal]

15. Indeed they are. Hopefully neither will bite. So far, so good.

We can't count on the media to do anything but bash and bait our candidates. Sad, sorry state of affairs.

[malaise]

5. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

You're clearly watching Thomas the idiot Roberts. Shark attack! Shark attack!! Have no fear the sharks will disappear when Jesus Enough Bushes (TM NIght Watcher) starts spewing hi BS

[spanone]

7. it's fucking pathetic. love the JEB....!!!

[malaise]

8. From here

11. Hillary's half response to the TPP

has already stolen Jesus Enough Bushes' thunder

[mcar]

22. OK, that is my favorite JEB line

Jesus, Enough Bushes. Perfect!

[malaise]

23. THank Night Watcher

It is brilliant

[spanone]

10. they just reported that SHE JUST FINISHED her first press conference...now that's helpful

[Motown_Johnny]

12. they showed a clip

the answer was clearly not a yes....

but was it a no?

18 minutes of non answers isn't news worthy

[spanone]

13. really? you don't think a presidential candidates press conference is news?

and did you see the 18 minutes?

[Motown_Johnny]

16. Nope, all I saw was the clip

and if the candidate doesn't give a straight answer then it isn't news.


By the end of tonight we will all see reports about the presser. Lets see if she gave any straight answers and if so, how many.

[spanone]

17. no need. you've already judged it.

[Motown_Johnny]

21. I would gladly be proved wrong.

I really would.

Lets see what happens.

[Motown_Johnny]

25. Did you see Chris Hayes comment on the presser?

He seems to be reporting exactly what I predicted.

[malaise]

19. Hillary Clinton didn't give JEB his day

WTF was that about?

[TeamPooka]

14. Clinton tried to stomp on Jeb's announcement. It's just media/PR wars shit. nt

[DURHAM D]

18. Done with him.

He also has repeatedly referenced the Clinton and Bush dynasties as if they are equal. If he can't see the difference he shouldn't be on my tv.

[Sancho]

24. Fox just interrupted the Women's World Cup soccer game for Jeb's announcement!

Even though it's Florida, a bunch of the students (mostly women) groaned!! They hate Jeb.

Interesting reaction from 20-somethings.

Quotes from college age women watching the game (Germany vs Thailand).
On a scale of 1-I REALLY DON'T CARE,
This is absolute blasphemy.
WTF. I'm absolutely in awe. And I'm angry.
NO ONE CARES. Sports is greater than politics
He's definitely not getting my vote, now.

I keep telling my Bernie supporter friends that most college students, women, and even immigrants here know Hillary. The seem to like her. They've never heard of Bernie Sanders (they know who Maddow is), and they don't know what the TPP is...

Believe it or not, many say they know Hillary because of the Clinton Foundation or Youtube speeches she has given on women's rights. They are passionately against the anti-women's legislation, and about half are registered to vote.

I'm beginning to think that it doesn't matter if NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, and CNN all put any particular speeches on TV. It's not reaching the independents and new voters anyway. The don't watch any of it.
