Oh puh-leeze! Hillary Clinton implores media to ask 'tougher questions' (with an exception)

Clinton: "I think it's time to get serious. The man is the presumptive nominee." https://t.co/1JP5menbzd

Now that it’s looking like the race for president will come down to Clinton vs. Trump, Hillary thinks it’s time for the press to get more inquisitive. But there’s a catch:

Cooper asks Clinton if she'll become more available to the media like Trump. She pivots to saying Trump should be asked tougher questions

Clinton takes on the media re: Trump: "It is not enough to call in and give somebody a platform," says reporters need to ask "tougher ?s."

Shamelessness level: HIGH.

Requesting the press to focus more on Trump is hilarious coming from this candidate:

Hillary Clinton hasn't held a press conference in nearly three months https://t.co/bxy9SiGQUj

For those counting: Hillary Clinton has not held a press conference in 88 days. Yesterday, Cruz gaggled w/ his press corps 4x in 24 hours.
