After the Buzz: The Melania Trump factor

This Week On #MediaBuzz

FRED FRANCIS said Hillary's email "would have been safer if entrusted to Ashley Madison" and that "doing an interview with Ellen is not access." AMY HOLMES said Hillary is very "disappointing" to the mainstream media that planned to support her. A.B. STODDARD said Donald Trump is the "magic dust" for media coverage. MATT LEWIS admitted that the media have been wrong "so many times" about Trump's imminent demise. KELI GOFF said Trump is resonating with voters and the media still haven't caught on. SARAH LACY praised the New York Times reporting on Amazon: "When you freak out the tech world, you're a powerful news organization."

Ask Howie
