Much of the Bans Criticism focused on her decision to include her Running Mate, Tim Walz. She hasnt answered a single hard question they finally signed up for some and she asked to bring along an emotional support animal. She should disabuse every notion that Mainstream Media gets to dictate when you get to interview and how you get to interview. Others assess the interview in advance.
