Via Mehdi Hassan:

If you want to understand the failure of U.S. journalism, especially the complete inadequacy of political interviews in this country, in a single short clip, here it is:

RADDATZ: What the heck did #Trump mean in saying his supporters won't have to vote again in four years?

CHRIS SUNUNU: Haha. I think that was a classic Trumpism, if you will.

RADDATZ: Ok. Let's turn to President Biden and Kamala Harris.

@GottaLaff The lack of follow-up questioning when the guest deflects or gives a bogus answer has just about driven me away from broadcast news. They have to ask 10 questions covering the entire political spectrum within a 7-minute segment and by God we’re going to hit all 10. The answers are secondary. Most of the time, I don’t think the host even hears what they say.
