Says Who?

SULLY, IT'S ME with Brian Stetler


Listen Later

Dan has been in England for a week and now it’s time to come back to America and Election 2016--but first, he has a nice, quiet plane ride with no access to the news. Surely that will go well.

Like Dan’s plane, this election is coming in for a landing. How will this last week go? We asked CNN’s Brian Stelter to talk us through this final week and to discuss the role the media has played in this entire, never-ending (but maybe actually almost ending?) election. Come on, everyone. We’re landing this election on the Hudson. Hang on tight.

SPECIAL NOTE: next week, at 8pm EST, we’ll be going LIVE on election night. Follow @sayswhopodcast to get that live link and to join in. It's sure to be something.
