It's high time now that USA gets a lady-President. And there seems no other choice better than Hilary Clinton. I suppose people can give her a chance at President's posts. I think she has done pretty good till now, she deserves to become the President
And she will be a transparent president. Close to the people as a struggling human being with a vagina...
Shutout: Hillary bars designated reporter from covering her eventsNew Hampshire events closed to print pool reporter, no one replaces Daily Mail’s Martosko
*** UPDATED 7:13PM EDT: POOL REPORTER AGAIN KICKED OUT OF HILLARY EVENT ***
Why has Hillary Clinton barred today’s designated print media pool reporter from covering her campaign events in New Hampshire?
Would she really prefer NO coverage to the Daily Mail’s David Martosko? That’s exactly what happened this morning in the Granite State.
A source close to the situation told the Media Equalizer earlier that when Martosko was informed last night of the rescinded credential, the consensus among others in the media pool was to decline to send a replacement at all, leaving at least one event without anyone to report on it. The position normally rotates each day, as the campaign only allows one print reporter at a time inside many of her events.
When he attempted to gain access this morning anyway, it was denied. The event, in Rochester, was a forum on the subject of early childhood education. Later, there was a campaign kickoff in Concord.
While Martosko is left wondering whether this will continue throughout Clinton’s schedule for today, some in the media are asking whether the Democratic presidential frontrunner is taking an unusually heavy-handed approach to controlling coverage. There are other events on Clinton’s calendar for today, including a 5:45pm Flag Day event in Manchester sponsored by the city’s Democratic Party organization, where she will be the keynote speaker:

If Martosko were to attempt to gain entry and again be refused, it could substantially escalate the growing controversy.
While the left-leaning Mediaite speculates the issue is related to a 2013 story about Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and the campaign cites the Daily Mail’s foreign ownership (a can of worms were this to be applied evenly across the board), it’s more likely related to a recent series of scoops by Martosko about events on the trail.
It was Martosko, after all, who has reported on a number of behavioral missteps by Clinton’s team, such as her reliance on private jets as opposed to commercial travel even as she rails against the rich during campaign stops.
In April, he caught Clinton’s entourage reaching or exceeding 80 miles per hour in a 55 zone as they “raced to Boston” in order to catch a plane in Logan with a first class section. That’s despite skipping “the Manchester, NH airport [which] would have been 55 miles closer and had a flight two hours earlier – but it was on smaller plane with only coach seats.”
In addition, he uncovered Clinton’s now-infamous “Scooby van”– the vehicle used to move her across Iowa, featuring armor plating and tinted windows.
Does Clinton’s campaign realize it has inadvertently elevated Martosko to a higher public profile and at the same time energized her opponents, who are likely to renew allegations of heavy-handed press treatment?
UPDATE: From Martosko’s evening pool report
POOL REPORT #7: 6:24 p.m. “final — “You need to leave””For the second time today the Hillary for America campaign denied your pooler access to a pooled event, claiming that DailyMail.com was not approved to cover it. This despite sending an email Sunday evening at 6:15pm advising the times and locations where poolers should arrive during the day.
