Appearing on NBC’s Today on Sunday, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd acknowledged that “the optics look terrible” for Hillary Clinton after her campaign roped off the press during a 4th of July parade in New Hampshire, but he added: “Look, I am sympathetic to the campaign's complaint. She has a large media horde following her around that it makes it hard because of the media for her to interact with voters.”

Todd continued by lecturing his media colleagues: “And I think there is a fine line there. And we as journalists, when you're covering a candidate who is campaigning for the support of voters, we should be there to cover the candidate campaigning with voters.”
