Tara Palmeri: A Real Life Political Journalist.

In this episode, I sit down with Tara Palmeri, a senior political correspondent for Puck News, who shares her experiences from the campaign trail and insights into the intense world of presidential politics. We discuss the gladiatorial nature of modern politics, the pressures on political journalists, the impact of environmental and public health issues like the Duke Energy nuclear plant, and shifts in political party demographics. Tara highlights the challenges of maintaining ideological neutrality, the role of investigative journalism, and how media dynamics are shifting towards more independent sources. We also delve into the Democratic Party's internal struggles and the potential for structural changes in American politics.
