Hannity, Carlson, and Murdoch Battle for Trump’s VP Pick

Tara is joined by Puck senior correspondent and media guru Dylan Byers to talk about the proxy war taking place in conservative media, a battle being fought by the likes of polarizing personalities like Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Rupert Murdoch. It’s a war centered on Donald Trump’s prospective vice president pick, and each of these media magnates has their opinions on whom Trump should select as his running mate. Then, Tara and Dylan get into Thursday night’s big presidential debate and the pressure CNN carries on its shoulders to turn this debate into a civilized evening of discourse, a far cry from what happened four years ago.
