Instead, CBS moderator Nora O’Donnell repeatedly pressed a presidential narrative, raising serious questions about whether this event was journalism—or a campaign infomercial.\n\nIn this episode, we break down why the town hall mattered, why it failed Marylanders, and why the Governor’s actions increasingly contradict his claim that he’s not seeking higher office. When accountability disappears, trust follows—and last night was a perfect example of why so many voters feel disconnected from both the media and those in power."}
