Chelsea Clinton won’t do media interviews.

The Clinton’s, both mother and father, Hillary and Bill, have put child, now adult, Chelsea on the political trail to stump for her mother for President of the United States.

But they have done so with some provisions that, they the Clinton’s, feel entitled to, that Chelsea will not do any media interviews, not even with a ‘child reporter’.

Yet Chelsea has been campaigning actively and going so far as to say that the world will “breathe a sigh of relief” once President Bush leaves office.

She was speaking at a town hall meeting with students at North Carolina State University and later moved on to Peace College in Raleigh to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“I think the world will breathe a sigh of relief when this president is gone,” Chelsea Clinton said.

Now this lady has been well media trained to deliver the Clinton talking points.

When asked if a vote for Hillary is a vote for Bill? “No,” she said, “A vote for Hillary is a vote for Hillary,” she said.  “I’m really proud of what my father did in the ’90’s, but I don’t think you should vote for or against my mother based on my father.”

When confronted with her fathers’ infidelity with respect to Monica Lewinsky, Chelsea declined to discuss her father’s relationship with the White House intern, drawing applause when she told the young man that it was none of his business.

She had a similar exchange last week at Butler University.

Whether or not these difficult questions are planted by the media, because Chelsea won’t do media interviews — Chelsea is fair game.  Her parents put her in this position, stumping for what her Mother wants.

She is fair game because she is no longer a private person; she is a public person by legal definition.

But so typical of the Clinton’s self-perceived sense of entitlement, they want to set the ground rules.

It is time for the media to set its ground rules.

We promised on this website to be a media watch dog as well as to defend media rights.  Well it is time for the media and its professional organizations to set some standards.

The media standard for Chelsea should be: no media interviews, no media coverage of any event in which she appears.

You see, the Clinton apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and it is all part of their perceived entitlement to run this country.
