Politico- promising “relaxed” interviews to democrats

Loading

All bias, all the time

Politico reporter Mike Allen on Monday downplayed his attempt to offer Chelsea Clinton a “relaxed” interview, and instead chalked it up to a “clumsy” email he wrote.

The 2013 email conversation between Allen and Clinton aide Phil Philippe Reines was first reported last week by the website Gawker, which showed that Allen told Reines that if Chelsea Clinton agreed to an interview, the questions would be pre-screened. Allen said his offer amounted to a “no risk” interview opportunity for Clinton.

Allen didn’t offer an explicit apology for the email, but did tell his readers “My bad!” in his Monday morning email. He then implied that he never really offered cushy interview terms to Clinton, since his employer doesn’t allow him to make that offer.

“You may have missed a Gawker post last week that rightly took me to task for something clumsy I wrote in an email to Philippe Reines in 2013, seeking an interview with Chelsea Clinton at a Politico brunch. In the email, I said I’d agree to the questions in advance.”

With the weak selection of liberal candidates the media has to choose from to throw their full and unwavering support behind, obviously when they do interviews of liberals they have to take special precautions; can’t afford to damage the brand.

@Bill: Chelsea? non issue–Have you seen any “hard hitting” interviews of Trump’s kids or his wife?
Carson or Cruz’s relatives?

What are your current thoughts on the Repub. race?
Any comment on the Colorado Springs killings?

Liberals? That should rev your engines.

@Rich Wheeler: Now would be an excellent time for you to recall how the media treated Palin’s kids. Or, Bush’s, for that matter.

Chelsea has even been talking about running for office. Yeah, it would be good to get her on record discussing some of the dubious contributions coming in to the foundation that now has HER name on it.

Any comment on the Colorado Springs killings?

The killings themselves are abhorrent but as to comments, aside from any reaction to someone popping off without waiting for any facts on the matter… I prefer to wait until I have facts on the matter.

One thing is for certain; a guy that is a member of a party that opposes “far right fascism” and identifies himself as a woman is not likely to be Republican or conservative. Most likely, he is simply crazy, which would identify him as liberal.

@Bill: Did you know Bruce Jenner is a staunch Republican? “far right fascism?.”
Crazy–agreed had possession of at least 5 weapons and explosives===would make him a far right reactionary.
You for Trump?–this guy was probably campaigning for him–maybe a precinct captain.

@Rich Wheeler:

Did you know Bruce Jenner is a staunch Republican?

“Staunch”? How “staunch”? What was his voting record? Who did he support? Besides, that would be “was”. Bruce no longer exists.

If Trump opposes Hillary or Sanders, I support Trump. Are you supporting Hillary?

Dear seems to identify much more closely with someone like Hillary. Perhaps he even lies and steals, too.

@Bill: Dear made a perfect Trumpist while passing out anti-Obama literature to his neighbor–Same beliefs and they look quite a bit alike.
Kaitlyn who voted for “w”, Mac and Mitt–while Bruce– also a strong Trumpist though quite a bit better looking.

@Rich Wheeler: Hopefully, you are trying to be funny. Actually, Dear more closely resembles Bernie… in fact, you never see the together, so perhaps he IS Bernie.

Kaytlin has never voted for anyone.

@Bill: Dear “a man who identifies himself as a woman.” , and passes out anti-Obama literature. Who might he be??

I don’t know… someone with so many divergent and bizarre ideas that he can’t be cubby-holed and used for political gain?

You know, some LIBERALS have soured on Obama, because he is such a lying failure.

Mike Allen where are your balls

@Bill: They turned on him because he’s not Liberal enough for them. Go figure -Obama a closet Conservative perhaps??
