Fiorina’s First Week ‘Media Blitz’

Published May 11, 2015 5:26pm ET



In her first week as a candidate for president, Carly Fiorina’s TV schedule alone has been dizzyingly prolific. Since announcing her run on May 4th, Fiorina has done the following: two interviews on ABC’s Good Morning America; two Fox News interviews, one in the morning and another in primetime; a primetime CNN appearance; NBC’s the Today Show, the Late Show, and Meet the Press; a hit on all three cable business networks, CNBC, Fox Business, and Bloomberg; and a live interview on Yahoo with Katie Couric. It’s what her campaign’s calling a “media blitz,” and they hope to contrast Fiorina with opponent number one, Hillary Clinton.

In a memo, campaign manager Frank Sadler notes that Fiorina had taken 322 questions from the media in the 8 days of her campaign. Compare that, Sadler said, to the Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, who had taken about eight questions from the press in her month-long campaign.
