At the beginning of the month we celebrated a rather odd anniversary. On June 1st it had been precisely 180 days since presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton had held a press conference and taken open questions from the media. If we were talking about anyone less secretive than the Clinton Empire this would be an unheard of event. Most of the unsuccessful candidates from each party were begging for some earned media and the chance to make a headline or two, while others (*cough*) sometimes made us wish they would just shut up rather than taking more questions. How much longer could Clinton maintain the fortress of silence?

 

This week we finally learned the answer to that question when Hillary Clinton held her first press conference of the year. The questions were something to behold, as you’ve doubtless heard by now. None of the reporters literally asked her if it was difficult to be so wonderful and awesome, but the tone wasn’t far off. That was the subject on CNN the next day when Jake Tapper hosted a panel, including Hot Air alumnus Mary Katharine Ham. The obsequious nature of the questions was brought up by Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany and Tapper was forced ask the group if the media wouldn’t have a bit more credibility if they stopped kissing the ring quite so much.

Could Some Kind Soul Please Explain To Me (small words please) Why This Is Supposed To Come As Some Sort Of Shocking Revelation?
