Howard Kurtz reported on Sunday night that the Hillary Clinton campaign has decided to open itself to more press interviews. Kurtz quoted the campaign’s communications director, Jennifer Palmieri: “By not doing national interviews until now, Palmieri concedes, ‘we’re sacrificing the coverage. We’re paying a price for it.’”

Meanwhile Jeb Bush chatted July 2 with the conservative website, the Daily Caller. The Daily Caller interview broke an unusually protracted no-interview period for Bush. It had been more than two weeks since he appeared on the Tonight show with Jimmy Fallon. Bush spoke that same day, June 17, to Sean Hannity’s radio show and ABC News. Five days earlier, he’d spoken to Germany’s Der Spiegel—altogether, five interviews in the month of June. That brought his total, since the beginning of February, to 39, according to the Bush campaign.*

Over that same period, Hillary Clinton has given six interviews, including a paid appearance before the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce.

Jeb Bush accepted invitations from journalists likely to pose tough questions, including Fox’s Megyn Kelly, talk radio’s Hugh Hewitt, and CBS’s Bob Schieffer.

Hillary Clinton’s single potentially searching encounter, with The Washington Post’s Philip Rucker and Dan Balz, ran in its entirety as follows:

In a brief interview with The Washington Post, Clinton said she had developed a plan to overhaul the way money is spent in political campaigns. Earlier in the day she said she wanted to fix the country's "dysfunctional" campaign finance system, even backing a constitutional amendment if necessary. Asked about her campaign finance agenda, Clinton said, "We do have a plan. We have a plan for my plan." Clinton added, "I'm going to be rolling out a lot of my policies...Stay tuned." When The Post asked about the role of Priorities USA Action, a pro-Clinton super PAC currently trying to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to help her campaign, Clinton shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know." Then the candidate walked into Fuel Espresso, a coffee shop that advertises it sells "mom's baked goods from scratch," for a private meeting with supporters.

Not exactly forthcoming, to put it mildly.
