Hillary Clinton, whose campaign has been in damage control mode all week, is finally relenting on her strategy to keep the press at arms distance. Clinton will appear on her first Sunday show this week, sitting down with John Dickerson on CBS’s “Face The Nation.”
Since April, Clinton’s Democratic rivals have appeared on a total of 31 Sunday shows to date. That includes a whopping 17 appearances by Iowa and New Hampshire frontrunner Bernie Sanders (I-VT), eight for Martin O’Malley (D-MD), four for Jim Webb (D-VA) and 2 for Lincoln Chafee (D-RI).
