Clinton campaign press secretary Brian Fallon had an exchange today with Politico’s Dylan Byers, where he attempted to explain Hillary’s press availability has been generous:
Clinton reneges on promise to do 'more press'… http://t.co/D3ktcp5w31

.@DylanByers It is wrong that @brikeilarcnn is only national TV sitdown she has done. http://t.co/3MzXXNBvqh
— Brian Fallon (@brianefallon) August 21, 2015
.@brianefallon thanks Brian, will note that she's done two national interviews in 130 days ..
— Dylan Byers (@DylanByers) August 21, 2015
.@DylanByers Your premise is dumb. She does press conferences now almost every day she's on the trail. Plus multiple interviews to locals
— Brian Fallon (@brianefallon) August 21, 2015
.@brianefallon Brian, your campaign told me point blank she'd be doing more one on one interviews post Keilar… She's done 1 w Univision?
— Dylan Byers (@DylanByers) August 21, 2015
.@DylanByers And she will continue to do more. However, idea she hasnt already done 'more press' than she was doing in spring is bogus.
— Brian Fallon (@brianefallon) August 21, 2015
Fallon offered an example of upcoming “press” availability during which Hillary will undoubtedly submit herself to a tough line of questioning:
.@DylanByers If youre suggesting we dont mean it that more TV sitdowns are on way, an upcoming one has already leaked http://t.co/4QIHXNpPto

“Serious or trolling”? Provided how ridiculous the spin in defense of Hillary has gotten on multiple levels, it’s very hard to tell the difference.

Can't tell if he's serious or trolling https://t.co/7XC4Wlq1UF

That’s a question that’s nearly impossible to answer when Hillary Clinton is involved.
Click through to his link. He apparently means this seriously. https://t.co/S1GtfbwwnH

.@brianefallon Sit down with Ellen DeGeneres seems like a hard hitting interview on serious topics~not sure why @DylanByers is complaining.

Wow, they're bragging about sitting down with Ellen DeGeneres. This is amazing. https://t.co/YE3IYYdJu0

Her team believes press avails also count. And that "Ellen" is a national news interview.

"Doing a lot more press" /= Ellen DeGeneres, or Jimmy Fallon, or Seth Myers, or … https://t.co/n6JiKO5mls

@brianefallon Ellen has been known for her hard hitting questions since her days at the Laugh Factory @DylanByers

"She's doing national interviews! What would YOU call those questions from that little kid at the State Fair?" @brianefallon

The Ellen interview is sure to be hard-hitting:
I hope Hillary is ready for a tough interview with Ellen. https://t.co/dx0gK1GRBGhttps://t.co/ylzdM2v2Xjhttps://t.co/T9S8Zc1Q3J

A “selfie” will almost certainly be involved.
