As an aside, I'd like to point out that while Trump has encouraged the muzzling of reporters, Clinton has used noise machines to stop the press from hearing what she was saying during a fundraising speech.

I'm no Hillary fan, but that's hardly "silencing the Press." If so then, any celebrity attempting to close their blinds so that the paparazzi can't see into their house is "silencing the Press."

She's definitely not getting an brownie points for what amounts to an open-air "closed-door" speech, though.
