Please proofread the article, TPM.

The press conference, announced with about an hour’s notice, was widely viewed as Clinton’s effort to reshape the narrative about her performance at the forum, which offered a preview of the first general election presidential debate in September.

Yes, if you happen to call Chuck Toad “widely”. Piss poor writing.

Wait ‘reshape the narrative about her performance’? WTF does THAT mean? I was under the impression that despite Lauer’s shitty moderating, she did fairly well…? Guess I was wrong?

Will they shut up about press conferences now?

Good that she is holding the press conference and keeping the Trump-Putin line alive. She should do that more. But I think the last sentence of the article implies an unsettling story-- that her campaign believes she got beat at last night’s event. I hope that’s not true. Does anyone know if there have been any quick surveys of public opinion of the event? I assume the campaign did its own polling and review of media coverage.

I don’t think you are. Besides, what she’s trying to do is use last night as a jumping-off point for pushing a narrative about Trump. Looks to me like she’s playing offense, not defense.

Breaking her more than 250-day press conference drought with a Thursday morning presser…

I knew even before I got to the story page that this was the work of Katherine. She of “the New York billionaire” fame.

TPM, you can do better.

That’s what I thought she was doing, but then who the hell am I? Certainly not a staffer for TPM…

I pay for and come to TPM to escape the media whores and their mind-numbing, jaw-dropping vapidity.

Must. Rethink. Strategy.

Katherine Krueger have become TPM’s very own Chuck Toad. For a site that asks loyal readers to chip in $50 per year, we don’t need the false narrative here.

“astonishing step of suggesting that he prefers the Russian president to our American President” …“Now, that is not just unpatriotic and insulting to the people of our country as well as to our commander-in-chief, it is scary,” she said. "Because it suggests he will let Putin do whatever Putin wants to do and then make excuses for him."

Exactly! How much dark money has poots spent on the orange one? Would be nice to find out who really is buying this guy’s presidency attempt.

Putin’s puppet in the White House. Now that’s a scary thought.

No, Josh needs to rethink his strategy if articles like these go up as written without review or correction.

Reshape the narrative? Maybe a little. Remember Lauer didn’t give her much time to talk about anything serious. He told her to speed up her answers to the substantive questions after he wasted 15 minutes on emails.

I hope she holds these pressers every morning until the election. She did great.

I think everybody (except maybe Chuck Todd and Katherine) agrees that Hillary won last night/s event and won it handily. Lauer gave her his best shots and she fired back very effectively. She came across as Presidential. This presser is probably part of her post labor day campaign strategy.
