So how is the media holding to account, on our behalf, the candidates?

Also in the show, Michael Barbaro, host of The Daily podcast, Nic Newman, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, and Caroline Abrahams, Age UK's Charity Director on its petition demanding that the government funds free TV licences for the over 75s.
