For the premiere episode of A Deeper Dive with Dara Kam, City and State Florida editor in chief Jim Rosica joins Dara for a deep dive into why Republicans don’t want to talk to mainstream media outlets. Dara, senior writer at the News Service of Florida, and Jim talk about the Republican Party of Florida largely shutting out so-called “legacy” media outlets from the party’s annual marquis event where congressional candidates debated and GOP rock stars, including Gov. Ron DeSantis, made appearances. Listen as Jim discusses the roots of the “partisan press” and Dara and her guest debate whose chair is more plush.
