Oh for fucks sake. Vaguely clinging to the title of “journalists” they are now reduced to paparazzi.

All kidding aside, I’m embarrassed for every person in that picture.

EDIT: JFC, there’s even more people in the video!

Alex Seitz-Wald, a reporter for the network, noted that aides likely tried to avoid that spectacle by not informing the press that Clinton would enter the building from the back.

No, I think Clilnton is trolling the “journalists” big time to see just how ridiculous she can make them act and look.

They remind me of cattle being fattened with grain before slaughter… they collide, trip, jump over and ram each other to be first to get to the grain, then after it’s gone they lick the metal sides of the feeder until it’s polished.

OK, maybe cattle have more dignity than reporters.

I think we need to soberly ask ourselves this question: What has done more damage to the modern media? Is it the likes of Murdoch and Fox, or just plain jackassery?

I was hoping the van was painted like the Mystery Machine.

Just a plain gloss black. Boring.

If she did so, she’d take at least 80% of the Paultards from old Randy.

LOL I saw that shit live while I was lifting weights. What the fuck.

These “journalists” are just absolutely pathetic.

Well, that was a pretty sad and self-parodying spectacle. But no sacrifice is too great when you consider how well-informed as a society we’re kept by such efforts.

Saturday Night Live doesn’t even need to use writers or actors to make a skit out of this - just play the clip.

The film “The Right Stuff” portrayed reporters in exactly that sort of clownish, leaping-around fashion. They meant it as satire, of course, not straight documentation, but obviously reality caught up with them. (sigh)
