you should have seen when hilary clinton came to buffalo... she's
our senator, and nobody was allowed in to the event who wasn't
invited or who didn't have their questions screened...

the media failed to cover the protests outside, both toward this
policy, and toward her in general...

sadly, the media acted as perfect pawn in her little state-wide
travels, where she proved she didn't even have the geography of the
state down, let alone any of the answers to the questions posed to
her...
