Alicia Menendez came on “Midterm Mayhem” to discuss the most pressing media issue of our time: What issues do young people care the most about, according to their Twitter feeds?
“Gay rights, law enforcement, terrorism, abortion, and Obama,” Menenedez said. The law enforcement tweets in particular are related to Ferguson, which the mainstream has largely moved past, but millennials are still following.
Hosts Kal Penn and Nando Vila also ask about whether currying favor with young people counts as “millennial pandering.”
