Career

[edit]

Marinucci is a veteran California political reporter and has also covered business and crime in the past for the Contra Costa Times[citation needed] and The San Francisco Examiner.[4] She has won more than two dozen national and state awards.[4] Marinucci has broken numerous national political news stories, including about California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.[2] She appears frequently on the PBS show This Week in Northern California and been a guest on Hardball with Chris Matthews.[5] She has provided political analysis on KQED-FM and was featured on the Ronn Owens Show on KGO.[6][citation needed]

She received international attention in April 2011 after posting a video on the internet of Barack Obama saying US Army Private Chelsea Manning (then known as Bradley) "broke the law". Supporters of Manning accused Obama of jeopardizing Manning's chances of receiving a fair trial. Marinucci was punished[7] by the White House, which withdrew her privileges.[8][9] The San Francisco Chronicle accused the White House of a "credibility gap on press coverage".[10]
