Media and Political Accountability

This chapter critically analyzes a recent interview with the Vice President, highlighting the shortcomings in both the questioning style of the interviewer and the responses from the Vice President, particularly on tax and economic policies. The discussion emphasizes the failure of journalists to challenge political figures and the impact of perceived biases in debate formats, especially concerning Republican candidates. It also explores the ramifications of shifting decision-making power on issues like abortion back to the states, while raising concerns about media bias in political coverage.
