Introduction

Chris Stirewalt, newsman extraordinaire and host of The Hill Sunday, sits down for a detailed, if somewhat pessimistic, conversation about the health of journalism. We cover partisan silos and the decline of local papers before turning to one of my favorite topics: the need for a normie voter party—and why both parties are failing at just that these days.

Lest we forget, we conclude with a healthy dose of punditry: Has Trump hit his polling ceiling? What types of voters does Biden need to persuade? What’s the difference between a Biden win and Trump loss? Stirewalt has the answers.
