Interview with Michael Podhorzer about a data-driven approach to covering Trump
Description
Dear readers,
In case you missed it, Mike Podhorzer and I did a video conversation together on June 2. We talked about:
* My new piece on Trump’s popularity
* How the media uses polling
* Why it pays to approach public opinion with nuance and uncertainty
* Why traditional ad-supported media is not set up to incentivize factual discourse when it conflicts with values of partisan fairness;
* and more
Mike and I have known each other for the better part of a decade now. At the end, I ask him about a big theory he has talked and written about for most of the time I’ve known him. We touch a bit on this question: Are Democrats just doomed in the Senate?
You can watch a recording of the conversation above. Please share with your friends and family.
