Score one for kids’ rights advocates. Child reporters are now treated just as poorly as the older, more wrinkled members of the press. 

On the campaign trail with her mom in Iowa, Chelsea Clinton wouldn’t answer a question from 9-year-old Sydney Rieckhoff, a “kid reporter” for Scholastic News. The fourth grader, being a typical nosy journalist, asked the famous First Daughter, “Do you think your dad would be a good ‘first man’ in the White House?”

Replied Chelsea: “I’m sorry, I don’t talk to the press and that applies to you, unfortunately. Even though I think you’re cute.”

Is there a lesson here somewhere, kids, about choosing to be a journalist when you grow up?
