In the past, Politico has asked older and much more experienced strategists and politicians highplainsdem Dec 2019 #7

Maybe they found that the younger reporters where more objective, and therefore much less likely... JoeOtterbein Dec 2019 #8

of advice ranging from mediocre at best to really, really bad -- particularly recommending attacks on Biden (which have backfired in past debates) and recommending that Yang interrupt other candidates and break into the conversation (that tends to backfire, too).

about what debate advice they'd give. Not young, rather inexperienced reporters.

...to get so much wrong. Like the "more experienced strategists and politicians" often are. Seems like a smart move to me. I'm sick of hearing from the same old, mostly white and male, pundit crews.

Listening to younger people is refreshing.

Young, inexperienced political reporters can get a lot wrong. As Biden pointed out correctly at a fundraiser last night.
