Description
On today’s episode of Hear Me Out… are journalists killing democracy?
Mainstream news outlets are starting to move away from horse race election coverage and toward policy substance. Though it’s a slow change, it’s heralded by much of the news industry as a good one. But what if the horse race was never really the problem?
Journalist and writer Chris Cillizza joins us to defend the horse race.
