On October 28, 2024, the CTVBY channel aired a report on the American election campaign. The video garnered over a million views.
The election fever is heating up in the U.S. The presidential race is surrounded by new scandals. One of them involves the media. Publishers have banned two influential newspapers, The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times, from supporting political campaigns. This has happened for the first time in 36 years. Traditionally, the press has unofficially supported the Democrats, represented this year by Kamala Harris. According to journalists themselves, such a ban doesn’t bode well. It likely indicates serious problems in the campaign. One of Harris’s recent rallies in Michigan ended unsuccessfully, interrupted by chants of “Stop the war.”
