The New York Times: a FOX in journalists' clothing

Yeah, I thought that one was a particularly weird criticism. Nobody breaks down the full specifics of particular policies in stump speeches.

You might get more a little more detailed on a couple of policies when they are particularly relevant for a specific groups you’re addressing - like manufacturing unions, or teachers groups. But generally, stump speeches are for the broad strokes, big picture of your platform.

If she tried to delve deep on even one policy in a stump speech, these same people would call her a boring, uncharismatic, out-of-touch wonk.
