Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate, Governor Tim Walz, are on a serious media blitz right now - hitting popular podcasts like Call Her Daddy and Smartless as well as mainstream programs like 60 Minutes and The View.
Which of these are giving the campaign the most bang for their buck? And which outlets are giving its audience the most information about who these candidates are? With so much at stake in this election where a qualified candidate is facing a convicted felon who incited an insurrection after losing the 2020 election, is the traditional media adequately meeting this moment?
In this episode, Brian Derrick and Glennis Meagher tackle these questions and more. They also discuss Liz Cheney's endorsement of Harris, Jack Smith's bombshell filing, and Elon Musk's midriff moment.
