Mass Communications 101: What NOT to Do When Interviewing a Presidential Candidate

1- Avoid showing opponent's campaign ads: You're not there to act as their opponent’s campaign operative. Stick to journalism, not campaign tactics.

2- Don’t constantly interrupt: Let the candidate complete their thoughts. Voters are more interested in hearing them than your interruptions.

3- Always specify your sources for polls: If you quote a poll, name it clearly. With skepticism around polling, it’s essential to be specific.

4- Keep the interview professional, not hostile: Aggressive interviews rarely provide meaningful answers and tend to serve as TV spectacles instead.

5- Start on a welcoming note: Ease into the interview with a friendly question. Show you’re there for answers, not a takedown.

6- Let them finish: Give candidates the space to wrap up and share their final thoughts without cutting them off.

7- Be fair and balanced: Your job is to offer each candidate a platform to explain and defend their record in a respectful, professional manner.

@Travis_4_Trump It doesn't look like her! Maybe if she were looking forward vs. up it'd appear more accurate.

@DoctorJonPaul This is so good!

Donald Trump is 78 years old and in a state of profound cognitive decline.

He should end his campaign immediately.

Retweet if you think that Trump is unfit to serve!

[Rayna Katz @raynakatz]

@VABVOX @geribuchheit A-We're not talking about driving him out of office, we're asking him to end his campaign. b-"why" is the debate performance, it wasn't just a "bad night," as many around him have said. c-Yes Joe was a great prez but that doesn't predict future performance, especially at 81.

In 2020, one of the main reasons I voted for Joe Biden was because I wanted trump out of office.

PERIOD.

Don't get me wrong: I knew Joe was a good guy, and he had a ton of useful experience in politics as well as in the White House, but he wasn't my first choice, and I wasn't expecting much.

But NOW I'm voting for Biden in November mainly because he blew my expectations of him all the way out of the damn water.

He's already the most legislatively successful President in the modern era, having signed key consequential bills into law, like the Infrastructure bill, the PACT Act, the CHIPs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

Now, millions of Americans have insulin capped at $35/month.

The infrastructure bill is so good that Republicans who voted against it are clamoring to take credit for the funds going into their states.

He recovered and created a total of 15 million jobs. The last time unemployment was under 4% this long, we put a man on the moon for the first time.

Here's a new one, that not a lot of people are talking about, but it's a BFD: if you've ever had a flight delayed for hours or canceled, or lost your luggage, you'll love this: automatic compensation, within 20 days, and you don't even have to spend hours on the phone to make it happen.

He's gone after bullshit junk fees that companies charge us, death by a thousand cuts of mystery, mounting fees.

I prefer my President to be hard-working, compassionate, intelligent, and thoughtful.

I prefer my President to respect our NATO alliances, and the role we play in the world.

I prefer my President to respect our fallen soldiers, and not to see them as "suckers and losers."

I prefer my President who wants to leave the world, and his office, in better shape than he found it.

I prefer President Biden. 🙏💪

@joncoopertweets Storing nuts for his impending jail time.

[Rayna Katz @raynakatz]

@GarciaGirl03 @DylanByers @PuckNews yep!

[Rayna Katz @raynakatz]

@AHungrier @DylanByers @PuckNews Yea I think the GMA banishment happened a while ago; guess it wasn't enough! I found him likeable on air but I take it he was someone else behind the scenes.

[Rayna Katz @raynakatz]

@sisharma84 @DylanByers @PuckNews wow!

[Rayna Katz @raynakatz]

@joncoopertweets What is the hold he has over people? How is it that a man who so many of us find reprehensible is not only favored by some folks, he's revered by them?! First Bill Barr then this guy. And yea, sounds like a man of a high moral caliber.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Fourteen years ago today, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law.

Afterwards, one Republican member of the House called the ACA the “most dangerous piece of legislation ever passed in Congress.” Another predicted the country would “never recover from it.”

But then something else happened: it actually worked.

[Rayna Katz @raynakatz]

@joncoopertweets Disgusting. Why should he get a break that others likely wouldn't receive?

[Rayna Katz @raynakatz]

The labor shortage, inflation and tight budgets; OH MY! Meeting planners weigh in on contending with these issues while creating events that look like a million bucks. @AmexBusiness, @Nikkiyep7171 @WeAreRedVelvet @ConferencDirect https://t.co/RQbMRiUFbr

@RonRuggless @GuestXM @NRNonline What kind of survey was that? Granted, inflation is coming down but does anyone really expect the price of, well, anything, to decline? Once the genie is out of the bottle, how will hotels push her back in?
