I am outraged! Just who the heck does she do they think that they are?
Okay- poor public relations strategy maybe. But perhaps someone could explain to me why "reporters" have certain inalienable rights that lesser people do not have? Yes, candidates typically have given extra access and extra nice treatment to reporters because it is traditionally expected and good public relations. This is at worse a minor lapse in that goal, elevated by the typical "outrage" manufactured Fox news to tar anything done by anyone not right-wing. But I personally think that it also reeks of "How dare they treat me, a reporter, like a normal person when I am special!"
