On this episode of Heard Tell, we turn down the noise on US Senator Bernie Sanders visiting West Virginia as part of his current tour with reporter and founder of Wheeling Free Press Justice Hudson who was in the room and working the crowds during the Wheeling rally. Since Justice reports on local issues from city council meetings and homeless ordinance debates to major disasters and election coverage, the perfect person to parse through the hot takes and media narratives. Was the crowd locals or "bussed in" as some accused, why does Bernie Sanders play better even in red states than some of his most ardent supporters do, how did West Virginia get to be so red in the first place, and grown folk talk about the difference between big splashy rallies and viral video moments and the hard work of actually winning elections. Plus, how the recent deadly flooding is present in all other things in Wheeling right now, and Justice’s personal experience of going to cover the flooding as a story, but having to get involved in the clean up himself.
All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
