Angle: Don't Speak to the Media

The Huffington Post reports:

Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle spoke candidly about her reluctance to grant face time to media outlets over the weekend, facing voters at a Las Vegas event that was -- ironically enough -- closed to the press.

"We always say, 'If the press comes knocking, don't say anything,'" Angle said Saturday, according to a report in the Las Vegas Sun.

The Sun reports that the comments came in the context of a larger rebuke of the press, with which Angle's relationship has been markedly strained.

Angle and [conservative radio show host Heidi] Harris also took several opportunities to bash the mainstream media, which Angle has snubbed throughout her campaign, favoring instead conservative pundits who ask her softball questions and allow her to solicit donations -- both of which Harris, who called political reporters "little cockroaches" -- did Saturday.

Angle has been notoriously camera shy on a number of instances since winning the GOP Senate nomination earlier this year.
