Local media are scratching their heads after Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle invited them to a press conference, but refused to even acknowledge their presence when they tried to ask her questions after the event ended.

Angle, who is looking to defeat Senator Harry Reid, the majority leader, has been avoiding the media for weeks. The New York Times‘ Brian Stelter traveled to Nevada several weeks ago to dig deeper into the story.

“I can’t remember a time that we’ve ever had trouble with interviews,” Mary Beth Farrell, the news director at KRNV, the local NBC affiliate told Stelter.
