A CNN panel roundly criticized the Hillary Clinton campaign for keeping press members behind a moving rope line during Clinton’s Independence Day march Saturday, which created some unfortunate visuals for both the campaign and the journalists who complied with its request.
On that note, commentarian S.E. Cupp said the political press needed to grow some backbone. “This is humiliating for reporters who have to abide by Hillary Clinton’s rules of journalism,” she said on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday morning.
“And it’s not just this. It’s the entire campaign. She has kept them at a distance, she barely answers questions, there’s all these rules. And actually I don’t blame her, I blame reporters who put up with this. The second they decide we’re not doing this anymore, we’re not going to cover your glossy events the way you want it, then she’ll be forced to change this behavior.”

They should use that rope for other purposes.
I need not explain.
She’s The Worst Candidate Ever. EVER! No one can STAND the sound of her harridan voice; and when she DOES speak, her poll number PLUMMET!
If the Pubbies don’t win this one, it’s our own damn fault. (I know, I know!)
This should be like shooting carp in a barrel.
The liberal media are Hillary’s lap dogs.
The image I’m left with is of her. As Mrs. B-J Clinton continues to age rapidly she more and more resembles a pear.
Wonder if she was wearing an earpiece. The reason....I think they were monitoring her heart etc.....and every stop was to keep her on target.
She is treating them like democrats treat everyone else on the leftist plantations and they don’t understand it.
Aren’t they supposed to get special treatment in return for kissing her rather ample butt?
That big secret Service guy next to Hillary is to keep her from staggering off the white line in the street
No one had a knife to cut the rope??? Not one person to stand up against Hillary? Not one?
Really? You've never complained before when you've been asked to carry the party line and ignore the truth around you, so why start now?
Hillary only wants the Title , First Female President , then she goes on a 4 year Fund Raising Tour for the Clinton Foundation
Reporter #1: Did you hear about how Hillary's team roped off the press?
Reporter #2: Yes, it was an outrage!
Reporter #1: I see this as a direct attack on the First amendment.
Reporter #2: I certainly agree with you there. Who does she think she is?
Reporter #1: Of course I'll still be voting for her.
Reporter #2: Me too. Now let's go out and smear some Republicans.
Crupp is not reporter.
This is fake outrage to try and paint Hillary and the media as enemies.
When you stop to think about it, this is very puzzling behavior. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? The media is sent out to give her a boost, and they are treated like that. Not the way to win friends, not the way to appear in control, just not the way to run a campaign. Someone is on dope.
Silk or hemp?
Can't see how that matters. He's speaking for reporters and political commentators pretty much are reporters.
To today’s typical MSMtard the alternative to
Hillary (or any other liberal) is so reprehensible
that they happily allow themselves to be pissed
on daily. While I can’t prove that theory it
seems plausible to me.
This just shows how scared the MSM is of the Clingtonians. She will rule by fear and coercion if she is elected. She has, obviously, gotten the pamphlet on media control from Soetoro's camp. Rule #1: Fix the election to secure victory. Rule #2: Do whatever you want knowing the Supreme Court will let you do it.
It's no wonder she never has press conferences...she doesn't need to.
