A CNN panel roundly criticized the Hillary Clinton campaign for keeping press members behind a moving rope line during Clintons 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 Clintons rules of journalism, she said on CNNs State of the Union Sunday morning.
And its not just this. Its the entire campaign. She has kept them at a distance, she barely answers questions, theres all these rules. And actually I dont blame her, I blame reporters who put up with this. The second they decide were not doing this anymore, were not going to cover your glossy events the way you want it, then shell be forced to change this behavior.

Conan! What is best in life?

Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.
But I repeat my self.
Opinion columnists operate under different rules. Reporters are supposed to resist being manipulated.

Hillary is resembling a pear, n'est ce pas?
Agreed: Reporters are supposed to be neutral in their reporting, but that died years ago. They have an agenda and they seem bound to carry it through. Now, when one of the Chosen Few, tells them to stand behind a moving barricade, they get PO'ed. To me, that's just part of the price they have to pay for selling themselves and their credibility to the Left.
The “Peoples Candidate” is afraid to answer to the People. Too Funny! I thought this kind of stuff only happened in the movies
Libs should look at rope like Dracula looks at the cross.
She’ll ball her eyes out for homo marriage and takes up for Clinton - yes I know Hillary vs MSM is a tough call...
Hillary Le Poire. I like it.
Imagine ... if you will ... the media reaction if Sarah Palin's campaign team pulled a stunt like this.
Wonder which GOP wannabe has the stones to treat the media in the same manner as Hillary!.
The only reason candidates hold media events is so that the media will attend them and report favorably on the candidate.
So here we have Hillary publicly humiliating the media at an important event, which has led the media to report unfavorably on her.
A presidential candidate who uses rope to contain reporters during her candidacy is likely to use more rope to hang reporters with once she gains power. Yet the media refuses to fight back.
Oh, give me a street under sunny skies above
To do my journalistic beat with the candidate I love
I don't mind aching feet and suffocating heat
But don't rope me in!
Just let me be by the side of ole Billy Clinton's bride
If she gives me a stare I'll be walking on air
Oh, the thrill of cov'ring Hill when her walk commences
To gaze at her face 'til I lose my senses
To bask in those smiles she so radiantly dispenses
But I don't like rope and I don't like fences
So don't rope me in!
I want to be with Miz Huma and those other fawning dopes
To throw roses at her feet.....but I can't stand ropes
So please, Mrs. Clinton, don't rope me in!
Please, please, please don't rope me in.....waaaaa.....you know I love you anyway.....waaaaa.....maybe yellow tape would do instead.....???

You got that right!
The media is willing to sacrifice itself to protect the One they love so much.
I am enjoying the pressitutes being embarrassed because they submitted themselves to this embarrassing situation. (this same tactic is used by nervous mothers who have their little girls march in our local parades as members of baton twirler corps... hahaha}
I am also enjoying that Hitlery is being lambasted for doing it to the poor little pressitutes...
