For Clinton Camp No Press Is Good Press

[tke711]

Hillary is being regarded (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=3648738&page=1) as the most media controlling and obsessed candidate out there.

Clinton, D-N.Y., is running perhaps the most media-controlled -- and media-obsessed -- campaign in presidential history. Her aides carefully screen access to the candidate, generally avoid news conferences on the campaign trail and have been known to throw around the Clintons' considerable weight to block negative stories and influence coverage of the candidate they're protecting and promoting.

If her sizable lead over Obama is an indication, this controlling and obsession appears to be working. Of course, threatening access to her husband to get stories squashed or ran is a bit underhanded and tacky, but such is life in politics these days.

Yeah she's smart this way. She's seen the press machine in action and knows what to avoid. Seasoned from years of exposure at the highest level. I'm sure she learned a lot during the time Bill was President.

Funny how "the people's right to know" who they're voting for in this context means nothing. Same old.

We have no right to know. We have the right to see what they want us to see. Smart politicians that know the game with the right connections will win. All we can do is hope they will do more good than harm with their hidden agendas. Those things they won't discuss. :(
