Clinton calls media coverage of campaign 'frustrating'

By

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Thursday vented her frustrations with the media’s coverage of her presidential campaign at her first press conference in almost 10 months. Speaking to reporters from a tarmac in White Plains, N.Y., Clinton said that she believes Republican rival Donald Trump is getting more favorable treatment than he deserves. “I’ve been somewhat heartened by articles recently pointing out the disparate treatment of Trump and his campaign compared to ours — I don’t understand the reasons,” Clinton said. “I find it frustrating, but it’s part of the landscape we live in and we keep forging ahead.” "I’m not asking for any special treatment," she added. "I know the road that I’m on. I’ve been on it for 25 years and I just get up and keep moving forward." The Democratic nominee said it is difficult for the press to cover Trump because he says “outrageous things on a regular basis,” but encouraged reporters to hold him to a higher standard. “I know it may be difficult to feel you know exactly how to respond to some of his behavior, but we’re on the brink of making a very critical decision for our country,” Clinton said. It had been 278 days since Clinton last held a formal press conference. Republicans had seized on the issue, accusing her of hiding from the public and trying to run out the clock to Election Day. Clinton spent almost all of August off the campaign trail at swanky fundraisers or holed up with briefing materials in preparation for the first presidential debate later this month. She has been more accessible since Labor Day, when she first began traveling on the same airplane as the embedded reporters covering her campaign.

Clinton stepped into the back cabin for brief, informal gaggles with reporters twice this week, but Thursday marked her first proper press conference in about 10 months.

Russia Deploys S-400 Systems to Russia, NATO Has Heart Attack

By
Our day job is to read about Russia-related stuff and then write about it. So imagine our surprise when we learned that "a NATO air chief says he's concerned by Russia's increasing deployment of surface-to-air missile systems in and around Europe." That's huge! Russia deployed the S-400 to Prague? When did this happen? And what is Russia hoping to gain by deploying surface-to-air systems into the heart of NATO-controlled Europe? We had so many questions in need of answers. Originally appeared at russia-insider. loading... In recent years, the Russian military has deployed S-300 and S-400 surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems not only within Russia and Kaliningrad, the Russian city in a territory between Poland and Lithuania, but Crimea and areas encircling the Ukraine, and even Latakia, Syria. A lot of redundant information here. Let's help our friends at Military.com: After editing out the decorative bullshit, we get: In recent years, ...

Best Available Evidence: Hillary Clinton Has Parkinson's

By
Clinton has been using her "dehydration" story for years. This time it won't work. The media is already working around the clock to hush up questions about Hillary's rapidly deteriorating health. She overheated has allergies pneumonia! She'll be back on her feet soon, citizen. End of discussion. Anyone who says otherwise is a Looney Tune. (Remember that just a week ago the media shamed anyone who even suggested that Hillary Clinton might be sick.)  We don't buy it . Commenting on Clinton's latest "medical episode", Dr. Zuhdi Jasser M.D. observed : “What she had was a syncopal episode. She passed out. That’s either cardiovascular or neurologic. Now, her team wants us to believe it is dehydration. She didn’t appear to be dehydrated and that doesn’t get fixed in 90 minutes.” There's a very good reason why Bill has already replaced his wife on the campaign trail : Hillary Clinton is suffering from advanced stages of Parkinson's. And it...
