Hillary Ropes Off "Everyday" Reporters, Creates Media Spectacle

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In case anyone forgot, Hillary Clinton — whose demands for a keynote speech appearance include a quarter of a million dollars, a private jet ("a Gulfstream 450 or larger), and $1,000 for a stenographer — is running for "everyday Americans." 

Presumably, these are the "folks" who make up the 83% of American workers classified by the BLS as "non supervisory" and probably include those whose job it is to report the news, which is why we were surprised (not really) to see that when it comes to "everyday" reporters, covering a Clinton rally means being herded along like cattle inside a moving rope pen which looks to have been designed to separate the former First Lady from 'the rest of us':

*  *  *

The media has predictably had a field day with the images. It's not yet clear what impact the debacle will have on Clinton's ability to "rope in" voters so to speak.

This is hilarious! How low will these presstitutes stoop just to get a clip of the bitch?? 

Who needs who?

I would expect any non-sycophantographer to balk at the rope and tell Hitlery to fuck off.  She does not deserve the press.

There's a recent book titled "Hitler's Beneficiaries: Plunder, Racial War and Nazi Welfare State."  The author was smart enough not to ruin the book by making references to today's politics.  That said, what we need today are:

Johnson's Beneficiaries; Nixon's Beneficiaries; Ford's Beneficiaries; Carter's Beneficiaries; Reagan's Beneficiaries; Clinton's Beneficiaries (2 vols);  Bush's Beneficiaries (3 vols); Obama's Beneficiaries; Betcha there's a pattern.

There actually was a truck with an elevated camera shooting her 'walk' so I sort of think the intent was to show her during the walk as a 'normal' American. By roping off reporters the camera was able to capture her without a flood of reporters in her face. But the rope thing will turn into another PR debacle, so the footage will likely.get canned.

Put some of the blame on the press - they seem intent these days to stick a camera in every candidates face and yell goofy questions at the candidates - trying to get a newsworthy response. The Sunday news talk shows are just as bad - any candidate gets a lengthy question with contradictory points and often filled with misquotes and snippets of what the candidate previously said. Polite candidates simply stumble through an answer rather than saying what they really think -- "You're an idiot!"

One point is that the old system and history inform our Politicians and the Lobbyist Powers that be.

- Draw from the Vatican, Church of Rome, Catholic Church, Jesuits
- Draw from Communist Programs, China, USSR, Pol Pot, Cuba
- Draw from Nazis, US Military Archives of Nazi Interrogations, Draw from those Nazi or Third Reich Asset which we Recruited, Draw from the Fascist in Italy & Spain which we recruited, use Intelligence or counter-intelligence operations with Propaganda on both Domestic and International Citizens, Re-Write History as possible, shape the thoughts of populations with Presidential Pronouncements like Papal Bulls, Affirm the new direction of the National Government with pronouncements that support them at all levels and in all agencies

Look back at what the Catholic Church did.

The church too documented info and made it into policy without validating the Witnesses, documentation, Evidence... since the witnesses they chose to use supported the policy and agenda of the Church.

This is just like the USA, NATO, EU, Troika, BIS, whatever.

We are talking about the nature of power.

Power simply looks for supporting factions, witnesses, documents, it does not need to look for the Truth since it is implementing a Strategy or Agenda.

Think Spanish Inquisition, then you have USSA or Globalists, the King Makers or the Powers behind the Puppet.

Food for thought...

Perhaps Hillary actually DIED from the stroke, so TPTB had to conjure up some way to get a body-double to run?

And that's why reporters aren't allowed to get TOO close!

I'm telling you, Hillary could be dead and they'd still run the campaign, knowing that she might win, anyway.

Once the double is in office, Bill will just run our nation's State of Affairs...

Its a very impolite treatment at the very least, making journalists look like cattle that couldnt respect certain distance on their own if asked nicely. Very impolite. Also notice this doesnt apply to side people which are free, making this bad bias towards journalists even worse.

Yes very impolite to journalists who are always such civil and shy creatures. No way would there be be a media scrum with pushing and shoving and camera shoved in faces if they did away with the organisation.

What they should do is treat journalists with the respect they recieve in places like Russia, China and the middle east or africa, right ?

Mon, 07/06/2015 - 08:08 | 6275742 Raul44

There are ways to deal with that other than roping them like a cattle. For example warn them of ban next time they broke rules, or keep them aside with other people - all being barricaded in a normal way and so forth. Or if nothing else they could just use guards not to let them too close as is usual practice, but not a damn rope lol ;).

Is this what ZH has been reduced to, discussing how terrible it is they should rope reporters to keep em in line.

And you think if they had used guards we wouldnt have seen the same article saying how Hilary's fascist goons manhandled reporters out the way

I'm not keen on her but think about why such a nothing article has been posted and whose purpose it might serve

And she says she cares for America, too, so the whole tone of this .... blog? wtf is ZH, anyway?

The point is this: You all need to sho some more respect for basic human decency. Hilliry Clinto is a person. And she behaves like a corporation, which makes her two people at once.

Where is the decency?

Where is the hope?

And those poor people who have willingly turned out to see her and the reporters who are their to cover the story have to submit to this stuff,its abhorrent.

 

What the US should do to stop this sort of stuff is be like Russia or China or some middle east state and just have a dictatorship, that way no need for electioneering by candidates, or even elections !

In terms of crowd control this is formally called 'kettling' and was used in the G20 demonstration clean up by tactical police working the crowd. It is standard operating procedure nowadays it seems.
