The Democratic National Convention is in full swing, but what influence does it have on the election? Once a hotbed of debate, drama, and actual decision-making, the DNC has transformed into a carefully choreographed media event where political insiders pretend to decide things they've already decided. So what are we doing here? This week, we dive into these questions with Zolan Kanno-Youngs, White House Correspondent with the New York Times and CNN political analyst, and Jill Lepore, Professor of History and Law at Harvard, staff writer at The New Yorker, and author of "The Deadline." Together, we discuss the happenings on the floor, explore how these political gatherings have evolved from smoke-filled rooms of party bosses to the spectacles of today, and examine how political messaging has adapted (or failed to adapt) to the ever-changing media landscape.Follow The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart on social media for more: > YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@weeklyshowpodcast > Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weeklyshowpodcast> TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@weeklyshowpodcast > X: https://x.com/weeklyshowpodHost/Executive Producer – Jon StewartExecutive Producer – James DixonExecutive Producer – Chris McShaneExecutive Producer – Caity GrayLead Producer – Lauren WalkerProducer – Brittany MehmedovicVideo Editor & Engineer – Rob VitoloAudio Editor & Engineer – Nicole BoyceResearcher/Associate Producer – Gillian SpearMusic by Hansdle Hsu—This podcast is brought to you by:ZipRecruiterTry it for free at this exclusive web address: ziprecruiter.com/ZipWeeklyLearn more about your ad choices.
