Hillary Clinton stacks March schedule with women’s events, a paid speech

Most of Clinton’s events are focused on one thing: women.

Clinton starts her month by headlining the 30th anniversary gala for Emily’s List — a pro-Clinton organization that focused on helping Democratic women win elected office. At the D.C. speech on March 3, Clinton is expected to give a nod to the group’s importance to Democrats and highlight the reason more women are needed in politics.

Emily’s List has been energized by Clinton’s campaign and has pledged to raise and spend more money than any other election cycle because of the prospect of a Clinton White House.

In a 1996, according to the diary of the late Clinton confidant Diane Blair, Clinton said the media are “complete hypocrites.” At an event in 2014, Clinton said “journalism has changed quite a bit in a way that is not good for the country and not good for journalism.”

“A lot of serious news reporting has become more entertainment driven and more opinion-driven as opposed to factual,” she said. “People book onto the shows, political figures, commentators who will be controversial who will be provocative because it’s a good show. You might not learn anything but you might be entertained and I think that’s just become an unfortunate pattern that I wish could be broken.”

Clinton’s presidential campaign has become a forgone conclusion and Democrats close to Clinton expect she will announce some official move towards the presidency in April.
