Oxymoronic: Hillary Campaign 'Manufacturing' Authentic Moments

What does it say about Hillary Clinton that her campaign feels the need to artificially create supposedly real, authentic moments for her?

On today's Morning Joe, Kasie Hunt observed that in this election cycle, "the demand seems to be for raw, unfiltered, real type of moments. I think that they're [the Hillary campaign] trying very hard to create that with her." Jon Meacham--seeing the oxymoronic irony--jumped in: "they're manufacturing it." Bingo.  There's nothing like a raw, real, unfiltered moment--created by a horde of hacks, handlers and hangers-on.
