What a great article. She is correct, the press is not our friend, they aren't interested in looking out for the voters, they're interested in vibes and clicks. And her largely ignoring them is forcing them to play the words she is saying to the voters. SHe's a massive story, they ahve to cover her, without quoptes they can twist to loaded quations they asked, they are forced to carry her actual message to the voters.
