MSNBC's Kristen Welker was in the appropriately named "Spin Room" at the CNN Democratic Debate from Flint, Michigan on Sunday and had what turned out to be hilarious technical problems. Hilarious in the most irritating way. 

While preparing to interview Hillary's communications director Jen Palmieri, Welker didn't know her mic was live and that she was on air. So she warned Palmieri exactly what she was going to ask. It is absolutely clear from the context and the video that this was an opportunity for Palmieri to nix the question. 

And it's not the first time. Reporters have been giving Hillary the right to veto questions all along. Because that is what it is like when you're a Democrat running for office: the press accommodates you.
