@ZaidJilani That’s a good point overall. I’m focused on midterm campaigning, where there hasn’t been much nuance. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked Cotton about the 0.15 recidivism rate for the 11,000 prisoners placed on home confinement during pandemic. Only 17 had re-offended; did opponents of mass incarceration have a point? "The victims of those 17 criminals probably viewed it differently." https://t.co/FvOqO8yLmn — PolitiTweet.org

@BeingAndyChen Really every sector of public life - how many celebrity news stories these days are just recapping stuff they tweeted/instragrammed? They don't need the legacy media. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

@StatsBoyAndi This is why I'm very matter-of-fact about it. When I wrote about DeSantis blocking media from a conference, I wrote about the strategy, not "oh no, they made Dave sit outside." Who cares? — PolitiTweet.org

Lake's approach is to outwit the media and film them asking questions that she swats away, which is better imo — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Dems do it too, but less frequently, and their base likes the legacy media so they don't get points. See the irritation with Katie Hobbs refusing to debate Kari Lake. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

I'd recommend watching @ChristinaPushaw's NatCon speech about this subject. It's the wave of the future: Republican candidates can talk to/build up alternative media and get their message out. https://t.co/UjxdNKZ6jy — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

From the campaigns' perspective, it often makes sense. A hit on talk radio or Fox etc does more for you then letting the Fake News Media into your event - blocking the media gets you points with some voters. — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel

Things moving in this direction in lots of races - from not granting interviews (understandable) to not doing media scrums (not great) to just not letting the legacy media see the candidates in person. https://t.co/CVcINvq73N — PolitiTweet.org
