Story here. Excerpt:

'A team of Hillary Clinton “super volunteers” warned a New York Times reporter on Wednesday against using words about Clinton that they deem to be “sexist.”

The group, “HRC Super volunteers,” wrote Times reporter Amy Chozick, the paper’s Hillary Clinton reporter, and put her on notice regarding “coded sexism.”

Sexist words, according to the group, include: “polarizing,” “calculating,” “disingenuous,” “insincere,” “ambitious,” “inevitable,” “entitled,” “over confident,” “secretive,” will do anything to win,” “represents the past,” and “out of touch.”

“You are on notice that we will be watching, reading, listening and protesting coded sexism,” the group reportedly wrote her.'

... when political people threaten reporters, even ones who work for a paper notoriously sympathetic to them, even with unspecified consequences ("you *better*...") to only say things the way *they* want them said?

Hmmm... there is a word for such a political state of affairs. What is good to see is that the Fourth Estate is not taking it lying down. And Madame Hildebeast should note she has just f*cked her stealth campaign good by pi$$ing off what would have been the primary supporting newspaper in her upcoming unannounced candidacy.

She can save herself the trouble and cost and just not run. Then again, I think she and her hubby have gotten used to the lifestyle perks. Running for prez is a good way to make sure the $$ keeps rolling in. Nonetheless, my bet is still on the idea she will not run. But if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But win? Not a chance.
