Applause from members of the media was heard throughout Hillary Clinton's address Friday to a joint convention of the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists in Washington, D.C.

The event, attended by more than 1,500 journalists, discourages applause from journalists during speeches by political candidates. Before Clinton's appearance, conference staffers went around the room reminding people that it's inappropriate for journalists to give politicians standing ovations.

Republican nominee Donald Trump was also invited to attend, but declined.

Clinton's remarks included taking shots at her opponent.

I wonder how many times she was asked if she took cream and sugar with her coffee? I’m sure the applause was thunderous every time she answered. Jack Booted Marxist march on.

Useful, socialist idiots, ya think? These journalists should read their history books and see what happens to journalists when dictators come to power.

She can now say she’s had a press conference. That blunts any attacks until election day.

She - or her cronies - is the source of their pay checks. So they applaud “the founder of their feast.”

Then they aren't journalists, but they might be journolists.

A quote attributed to Søren Aabye Kierkegaard :

Maybe not verbatim, but it goes something like this ~

“There is no profession in the eyes of God lower than that of ‘journalist”

HA!
