If people start purposefully ignoring you as a politican, how are you supposed to influence them? I don't think that they'll implement something which gives themselves a disadvantage.


They would still maybe get a date. I think it would work to everyone’s advantage. Then they could work the rest of the week without firefighting every day because of xyz on the media.


That could also be a solution, yeah. Then I guess the question is, how politicians feel about it. But I'm sure this would be abused instantly. Some media outlets would probably ignore it to get readers who crave political news and some politicians would probably purposefully tweet or post on Facebook for the same reasons.


I wish the media understood it was in their best interest.

Trust in journalism is soooo low because they talk about politics so much.

If they talked about what is happening (there are an unlimited number of things happening, it shouldn’t all be political, e.g. new technology, structures being built, community activities, health procedures, e.g. teach people stuff) they would be appreciated more.
