We are in mortal danger of getting a psychopath elected and all they do is talk about policies.

Trump is extremely dangerous, especially with immunity. Project 2025 will destroy everything we have gained in the last decades. Women/minorities and gays will have no rights. Pollutions will go through the roof. violent militia's can attack minorities. We will lose our healthcare etc. All Harris has to do is expose Trump's horrible past, he was a disaster at everything he did. He was named the worst president ever. The whole world is watching in horror because they will all be effected.

So spot on!! The contrast between Alex Cooper, who basically apologized to her audience for having the vice president on the podcast but explained to her audience why she thought it would be useful, and some mainstream journalists whining about their lack of access, is really striking. Cooper asked questions she thought her specific audience cares about. Good luck seeing a major newspaper or TV news show ask questions like 'How do we make this country safer for women?'

” Let’s be real here: Most of these are not the types of interviews that are going to press her on issues she may not want to talk about, even as voters want more specifics from Harris. Instead, expect most of these sit-downs to be a continuation of the “vibes” campaign Harris has perfected.”

The ongoing double standard. When’s the last time the orange guy was asked (much less answered” question he’d not want to hear talk about? Never?

Is it all about access? MSM reporters pull their punches to maintain access to their sources?

Access is certainly part of it, Mark. The overarching issue is the MSM business model doesn't work in a fragmented media environment, and they resort to whatever they think will draw eyeballs and clicks.
