>>Our conversations happened on two sides of a wall — a metal barricade that divides the standing room part of the arena and the “press pen.” You’ve probably seen this in pictures....

JEFF JACOBY: Hillary Clinton ropes reporters

JULY 07, 2015
SHIELDING HILLARY CLINTON from reporters’ questions has become something of a specialty for the former secretary of state’s political operation. Her announcement in April that she was running for the Democratic presidential nomination was followed by weeks in which she refused to answer substantive inquiries from the press. Journalists protested — at one point, The New York Times pointedly published “questions we would have asked Mrs. Clinton had we had the opportunity” — but to little avail...

...During an Independence Day parade in Gorham, N.H., over the weekend, Clinton decided that it wasn’t enough to just ignore the media. Her campaign staff actually corralled reporters, roping them off like farm animals to keep them far from the former first lady. This had to be a first in the “Live Free or Die” state, which is renowned for its ultra-retail presidential politics and where most candidates relish the chance to mingle with reporters and voters. The Internet flared with images of reporters being dragged behind a moving rope line, and it wasn’t only Republicans who wondered whether Clinton thought that the point of July Fourth was independence from answering questions...

Hey,BS!

If you are in the press pen, you are not inside a Trump rally.

" It had the look and feel of a political concert — a celebration — but with an angry edge."

Only in the liberal fantasy world does "truth" become "anger". They fear the truth, and cannot stop it any more. That's why they hate the tweets. It is their own hate that they misread as anger by those who no longer believe them.

Nada TV for many decades bought the first one in the mid-80's.

Other than racing, could never sit for anything but Magnum PI and Miami Vice. Now with DVR/DVD, I sit for nothing other than Netflix DVDs. Wife owns the damn thing.

Makes for a difficult time here on FR where "everyone" knows about TV stuff but me.

Many of Trump’s supporters knew the lyrics to his “songs,” meaning, his favorite stories. And sometimes they sang along — by chanting “CNN SUCKS” and mouthing the words to his complaints about “chain migration.”

That’s the first lie I noticed.

Chants such as “CNN sucks”, “Lock her up”, “Build that wall” and “USA” are not started by Trump. The crowd starts them spontaneously or at the mere mention of “the dishonest media” or “a certain candidate”.

Trump doesn’t even participate or encourage the “CNN sucks” or “Lock her up” chants. Instead, he interrupts them and continues his speech, which is usually about his positive agenda of creating jobs, making America prosperous, safe, strong, and yes great again.

He does chant along with or encourage the positive chants of Build that wall, or USA.

Reporter’s mind was made up before he arrived. He’s the one who needs changing.
