With Hillary Clinton rapidly approaching a month since she answered a question from a reporter, her allies are working to push back on the idea that she is ducking the press.
"PUTTING THE VOTERS FIRST, HILLARY ASKS THE QUESTIONS THAT REALLY MATTER," read the subject line of an e-mail -- ALL CAPS in the original! -- that arrived in my inbox this morning courtesy of Correct The Record, a pro-Clinton super PAC directly coordinating with the presidential campaign on rapid response.
The missive lays out the facts aimed at putting lie to the "she won't answer questions" narrative.
The group notes that Clinton has ASKED 117 questions of "everyday Americans." And, yes, it lists every one of those questions -- from "Give me a sense of your experience with that?" (Iowa) to "Do you want to share your story?" (Nevada).
I mean, where to start with this?
The role of the media in this process is to show voters who these people are, really, and to explain how these people would govern the country if elected. Like the media or not, that's a very important role -- and one that is essential to a functioning democracy.
So, no matter how many Iowans' questions Hillary answers or how many questions she asks them, it doesn't justify her current unwillingness to stand before reporters (or even a single reporter) and take their questions. Not even a little.

Next spring is going to make 1968 look like an afternoon tea. She will self destruct and there will be no one on the dem side except Biden and Kerry.
Well now, that'll be a tough choice for the dimocrats.
The New York Times is opening their eyes ... that scammy Clinton ‘magic’ might not work anymore...
It’s almost like the press is waking up to who the Clintons are... This from the Washington Post? Amazing.
Oh I don’t think so....I think the Clinton machine is operating currently exactly as they intend it to.
Not to forget that the Clintons play by their rules and everyone else follows...or waits. That includes the media.
She’s a shoe in for the Democrats and the game is to pave the way, not oppose her. IF she is indeed the one going to play this game when it comes down to the wire.
I think this entire administration is “stalling” in every area in order to hand it over to the Republicans so when everything tumbles it will land on the Republicans table to take the fall.
This might explain why she’s still popular with some voters.

Hillary Clinton avoids truth like Willie Nelson soap.
Some papers are breaking rank... that includes the New York Times... The Clintons went too far.
She’s afraid that a not prescreened/campaign approved question could slip by causing her to have to state an unmemorized answer, which of course would be a lie and would derail her campaign this early.
Photo speaks volumes without words.
I think the press is over their love affair with the bent one... probably ‘cause his wife is so ‘difficult’...
