Re: Clinton Planted Question?

Sean Hannity even called Guckert (or Gannon, or whatever name he was using at the time), a "terrific White House bureau chief" before it was revealed the questions and stated premises leading up to the questions Guckert was asking were laced with inaccuracies, or just plain softball. Guckert was finally removed by the White House press core itself, because he was not a "journalist" and his "news" website was pretty much a mirror of a RNC website. Did you know Sean Hannity has never mentioned why he removed Guckert (Gannon) from his radio show?

Unfortunately, the line between news and controlled public relations has been completely obliterated by this president, and perhaps, for others to get a message out after all the chicanery this President has done to mislead and misinform the public is very difficult.

From Jeff Gannon-fake White House bureau chief, "Talon News Service"- fake news organization, a fake FEMA press conference, soldiers in Iraq being scripted on what to say to the president during a live satellite link up, paying commentators for good reviews on White House policies, leaking partial reports to the New York Times and then quoting as if it were independently assessed information, paying Iraqi newspapers to run fake-feel good stories, and forcing midshipman and enlisted personnel to sit through Bush speeches and warning of attribution if they don't give the President a standing ovation, this current administration has gone out of its way to script appearances, and present closely knit, carefully worded lines and attribute those lines to other people.

And by the way, she was asked to ask a specific question; in no way was she an employee of the campaign, Hillary's Senate office, or the DNC. Let's up put things into perspective, people.
I think you have made some accurate comparisions, but I'm afraid that is what people have come to expect, and Clinton will continue the game. To be fair I believe people are going after Clinton since she leads according to most polls, but if you do questionable actions/standards you should, and will be called out. Hillary has said "that if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen"-so she has allowed folks to go after her, and she can't moan IMO.
