Hillary Clinton has a new campaign plane, and has invited members of the media on board because she loves them so much. (Not really.)
Hillary aide on press joining her on plane next week: "I hope this will shut you the hell up"

Not that Clinton has any reason to fear the group of reporters following her around the country. As you can see from this video of Hillary interacting with the media on her new plane, the candidate’s relationship with the press seems to resemble that of a wise old lunch lady and the giddy school children she tickles on a regular basis.
The media’s riotous laughter is a dead giveaway. Is Hillary Clinton funny? (No, she is not.) It’s the fake enthusiasm when Hillary says, “I’ve been just waiting for this moment” (she hasn’t) — just another example of her natural inclination to lie. In reality, the former secretary of state was (apparently) so stressed out that she ultimately succumbed to another coughing fit before retreating to the front section of the plane.
Several days before inviting the press on her campaign jet, Hillary was seen deflecting questions from reporters by attempting to bribe them with chocolates and praising their “cooperative” demeanor.
Perhaps the media’s fawning approach to covering Hillary is driven by self-preservation. For example, a number of journalists have been fired for criticizing Clinton, but few, if any, reporters have lost their jobs for asking if Hillary enjoyed her holiday weekend, or asking for an update on her allergies.
Hillary Clinton just came to the back of our plane to say good morning to the press. How are her allergies today? "Better," she exclaimed
