im deeply confused as to how this isnt the standard follow-up… “would you change your vote if you could?” and “will you continue to vote for the party that has these policies in their platform?”
Actual journalists tend to avoid anything that appears partisan. Their job is to report the news, not to deliver commentary.
And a 20-year campaign by Republicans against mainstream journalists has left them in a position where even straight factual reporting is considered biased by 50% of voters.
I agree that someone should follow up with these people and get them to really consider how their politics are affecting their own daily lives. But that really needs to be dealt with by pundits and talk-show hosts instead of reporters.
right, those actual journalists who are from organizations ejected from the whitehouse and threatened by a fascist takeover of the fcc to lose their licenses for pointing out the king has no clothes.
hows that neutrality workin out for ya, switzerland
kind feels like the story is the zombified population voting against their own best interests and it should be followed up on by everyone with a voice.
this isnt 50 years ago when honesty, decorum, respect existed and the league of women voters ran presidential debates. we are now a non-trivial percent away from no longer being a democracy.
