Media Enter Black Out Period for Clinton in Advance of March 4

From Ambinder:

HRC's Giving Her Major Foreign Policy Speech Right Now...

And no cable network is covering it.

As I type, MSNBC is showing Mike Huckabee's appearance on Saturday Night Live...ABC News Now is in a commercial...CNN is on weather, and Fox News is covering the DNC's complaint against John McCain. (To MSNBC's credit, they dipped into the speech for about 20 seconds.)

A few weeks ago, any speech deemed by the campaign as "major" would have been broadcast in its entirety.



I was very much looking forward to listening to the Tavis Smiley moderated “State of the Black Union” symposium held in New Orleans, that got zero coverage (at least that I noted).

[BO did not attend, so far as I know ... hummm. One of BO's weaknesses is that ... well, I'll bet you even money that, by the time his Presidency is over, he will not have been seen as a 'uniter' on the issue of race, right, wrong, good or bad.]
