Phil Singer, on Hillary's 08 Press Operation

Some choice bits:

“With the exception of [press aide] Jay Carson, they had the worst press operation–for their candidate as well as for the media–of any Democratic campaign I’ve covered in 25 years. Their job was to help reporters, not antagonize them with arrogant behavior and complaints to editors,” says Newsweek Senior Editor Jonathan Alter.

More than anyone else, Singer came to symbolize the underlying problem of Clinton’s ill-fated bid: a notion of inevitability, combined with hostility toward the media.
