Episode notes
Communication with the press poses significant risks for political figures, as misinterpretations can lead to damaging narratives. The example of discussing light as a disinfectant illustrates how nuanced topics can be sensationalized, resulting in widespread misconceptions, such as the idea of drinking bleach. This manipulation highlights a broader issue: the public's varying levels of political awareness and engagement. Most voters may lack depth in their understanding, often being oblivious to critical details, such as who is running in an election, despite knowing prominent figures like Trump. Consequently, the value of press interactions for candidates is questionable, especially when the potential for distortion outweighs any perceived benefits.
