It’s been 273 days since Hillary Clinton last held a press conference and even some on MSNBC are starting to lose patience with Clinton’s antics that even-keeled legal correspondent Ari Melber flipped out during Thursday’s Hardball on EMILY’s List president Stephanie Schriock for the shameless talking point that Clinton “talk[s] to the press all the time.”

In an analogy that few if any have employed, Melber chided Schriock for going along with this defense of Clinton and equated her dodging of the press with irresponsible parents skipping out on parent/teacher conferences by claiming they’re doing enough by occasionally bumping into their child’s teacher in public.
