Is the Press Obsessed With Politics?
When you talk about how the press has become more obsessed with politics over everything else, what do you really mean there? Are you talking about the gamification of politics? Yes, and thank you for asking me to clarify that. I had a sort of set piece in my book, Breaking the News, again, which came out. The questions they asked the White House press officials and also the president at a press conference were the questions that a sitting president or presidential aspirants got when they were on the road and when they talked to actual people. It was all the questions that would be relevant if you were running a political campaign yourself.
