Reporting on the campaign: “It’s damaging”

“I hesitate to do this, but the reportorial coverage of this campaign in a daily basis is abusive to the public mind, to the voters’ minds,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle during this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski as they discuss the state of the 2024 presidential race following the vice presidential debate between Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance. “We’ve lost our way in covering this campaign. And I think when you lose your way in covering the campaign, the voters’ priorities are skewed a bit by reading, especially in the print coverage of the campaign, and it’s more than troubling, it’s damaging.” Watch the conversation here.
