Hillary Restrains Press Behind Rope At July 4 Parade

By Tim Graham, Jul. 5, 2015, Newsbusters

Via Soopermexican at The Right Scoop, we learn Hillary spent Independence Day corralling her dependent traveling press corps behind a rope -- literally.

This is a prime example of how Hillary's imperious nature created a visual that telegraphs to voters how she wants to campaign in a bubble and isn't really interested in transparency. Can you imagine a Republican being able to rope off the press corps without it damaging their image? The Daily Mail reported:

As Hillary Clinton walked freely down a New Hampshire road, she shook hands and greeted residents with a smile.

But the members of the press accompanying her were a bit more restricted in their movements - as they were guided through the streets with a rope.

The former Secretary of State's campaign staff kept reporters, cameramen and photographers at arm's length as she joined a July 4 parade in Gorham - fueling speculation she is trying to control the media.

While CBS and NBC chronicled the numerous pitfalls to varying degrees, neither chose to look at why the numbers remained sluggish or assign blame for the state of the economy.

By Yuri Perez, Jun. 5, 2015, Newsbusters

Univision Buys The Root from Graham Holdings’ Slate Group

Todd Spangler, May 21, 2015, Variety.com

Hispanic media company Univision Communications has acquired The Root, a top online destination for African-American news and commentary, in a bid to expand its reach to a new audience.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The Root was a subsidiary of the Slate Group, owned by Graham Holdings Co. In 2013, Jeffrey Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com, acquired the Washington Post, in a separate transaction.

In joining Univision, The Root will use UCI’s digital production facilities and publishing infrastructure while preserving its editorial voice, according to the company.

“This bold new partnership between Univision and The Root underscores the ties that have long bound people of color together throughout the Western Hemisphere and is a sign of even greater levels of communication, collaboration and exchange between these culturally vital groups of people,” said Henry Louis Gates Jr., director of the Hutchins Center for African and African-American Research at Harvard University, and chairman of The Root. Gates co-founded The Root with Donald Graham, CEO and chairman of Graham Holdings, in January 2008.
