Breaking: Clinton Press Conference Today

Ops...wrong again.

247 days without one and the MSM and Ds everywhere are cool with it.

Her strategy appears to be to stay out of the public eye, because she is so disliked and hope that Trump self destructs. Isn't that an admirable strategy for winning the election?

I hate Clinton more than gonorrhea, but unless Trump figures out a way to turn the heat onto her all she has to do is nothing.

might as well rest those cankles....

 

[Timmy]

[BluesLegend]

Eventually she will have to face Trump in a debate and Trump is going to destroy her on national tv in front of the American people BOOM!

Which is precisely why its a good strategy for her. Every time she opens her mouth she reminds people why they distrust her.

The Reagan administration was also quite adept at keeping Reagan away from reporters, in order to avoid the potential embarrassment of his frequent factual errors. David Gergen admits that he "was deeply worried about the gaffe problem" (Herstgaard 1989: 139).

Following a press conference on January 19, 1982, "correspondents for all three networks spent nearly as much time correcting the President's statements as they did reporting them; Reagan's false assertion that unemployment had begun climbing before he took office received special notice" (Herstgaard 1989: 138-139). In spite of examples like this one, the press did not make a significant issue out of Reagan's failings(Herstgaard 1989).

Media, Advertising, and the 1984 Presidential Election: Reagan on the News

Although Reagan frequently provided the press with photo opportunities - like the example of the appearance at a military base outlined earlier - he rarely held press conferences where issues could be discussed, because the media would report upon Reagan's inaccuracies. Thus, the administration's focus was clearly upon image and not substance. In fact, one of the most famous images of the 1980s is of a reporter having to yell questions to President Reagan as he was boarding a helicopter, because all other access had been so restricted. Reagan pretended that he couldn't hear the questions and got on the helicopter (Herstgaard 1989).
