If you had told me 35 years ago that that pokey fledgling internet would someday rule the way presidential campaigns were run, no way I would have believed it!

Speak to a political/communication strategist about this topic, and it won’t be long before you hear something about *reaching voters where they live*. Or, to be more exact for the present circumstances, reaching *persuadable* voters where they live. The implication here is that such folks *don’t live* on an archipelago of major media outlets such as The Post and the New York Times.

Truly can’t remember the last time I watched live TV outside of sports.
The gist is that mainstream media is no longer where people are getting their information. It is certainly not reaching those people who aren’t specifically looking to hear about politics which is exactly the group (the “low-info” voters) the campaign needs to be pulling in. Therefore, it makes sense to go on those types of media that the target demographic is likely to consume.

There’s no benefit for a democrat to talk to the media. The double standard is so high. Trump/Vance can babble and lie and obfuscate and they’ll get a headline like “Trump suggests new approach to economy” and Harris can give answers with an entirely appropriate amount of policy depth for a cable news interview they’ll say “Harris skirts policy, focuses on identity” or some shit.

CNN: We can find 20 year old comments on porn forums made by a guy nobody outside of NC had ever heard of but we can’t find the 85 pages of policy proposals on Kamala Harris’s own website.
Edit: fixed a word

To be honest, Harris needs to stick to the younger audience from here on out. The (we) olds have made our decisions. It’s the now imfamous “unlikely voters” that are going to steer the election. All the polls are for “likely voters” meaning: They are willing to answer texts and phone numbers from anonymous callers.

because there is a double standard when it comes to being interviewed by a corporation that was previously bought by someone who is right leaning.

Pay for the production of your news, I get my info from Majority Report with Sam Seder. They source their news using my cash from subscription and not from gigantic corporations with an agenda and a finger on the editors. Sure its slanted to the left but its not fake news, its real legitimate news with integrity and they ask real questions and let me decide unlike CNN and Fox News. Find independent news you trust and pay for it out of your pocket.

The fact that this question is being asked means that her strategy is working.

CNN became absolutely worthless once they started sucking up to Trump over that ridiculous town hall
AverageLiberalJoe on
Because nobody needs to hear yet another furrowed brow concerning journalist ask ‘but why did you change your mind that one time?’
Soulman682 on
Because a podcast doesn’t limit their time like network tv has to

Call Me Daddy has more ears than CNN, for one, and serves a target demographic for two. Same with the Stern interview.
