"As Senator Marco Rubio was grilled by teens last night, scores of actual professional journalists asked themselves some variation of this question…
…
It is actually not a hard question to answer!
The first reason is access. Teens don’t have to worry about losing access to Marco Rubio. It took an extraordinary and tragic set of circumstances for these particular students to have the access in the first place, and they knew it would almost certainly be their only chance to directly confront him. For the students, their livelihoods do not depend on being able to gain access to Marco Rubio in the future. (The producers and bookers at CNN, though, do have to worry about this, and I am not alone in wondering how last night’s town hall will affect their ability to get Republican lawmakers to participate in similar events in the future, and how those events will be moderated.)
Cable news and Sunday show bookers worry, mostly correctly, that elected officials will stop appearing on their shows if the politicians are treated shabbily on those shows. It becomes self-reinforcing. Our politicians are, therefore, unused to being treated shabbily, and expect deferential and polite treatment. As a result, there’s no ongoing tradition of aggressive, adversarial questioning of major public figures in this country; we mostly substitute by performatively shouting at White House press secretaries, who are powerless, and exist only to absorb that shouting.”*
