Unpacking the JD Vance Dossier

This chapter features a journalist discussing a controversial dossier related to JD Vance, initially compiled by the Trump campaign, and highlights the media’s decision to withhold its publication. The conversation explores the dossier's implications on political dynamics, the nature of media paternalism, and the varying responses to political leaks in recent election cycles. It critiques the lack of substantive political discourse and the disproportionate scrutiny of foreign influence operations compared to domestic actions, advocating for a more transparent public information landscape.
