“Where hacks come to spew nonsense” - B2B
Eight years ago? Governor? Washington outsider? Regional accent? Feisty and glad-handing and a little pugnacious? We were told that the key thing about him was that he was a reform governor? And (based on his education proposals rather than his biography) that he cared about families? But he hadn’t traveled much? And he didn’t know much about foreign countries?
Remember how that turned out?
"I mean who cares if she can talk to Time Magazine? She talked to the American people."
Do people actually care if candidates for executive office can talk to the media?
Is there a role for the media in political campaigns?
Should the press just regurgitate whatever the candidate happens to state as fact or should there be some critical analysis of what the candidate does or does not say?
Disregard the question of whether the press is actually fulfilling their role as opposition to politicians. Do you believe that they should actually have that role at all?
What do you expect out of the media?
It’s going to be Sunday, if that matters to you.
Let me know if you are interested.
