Summary
In this episode of Mea Culpa, Michael Cohen sits down with journalist and author Vicky Ward for a sharp, unfiltered conversation about the growing list of disasters at the podium—from chaotic press conferences and political spin to the breakdown of credibility in public leadership. Together, they examine how messaging failures, evasive answers, and performative politics are shaping public trust and dominating the headlines. Cohen and Ward also discuss the personalities behind the podium, the media’s role in covering it all, and what these repeated missteps reveal about the state of American politics today. A candid and insightful conversation you won’t want to miss.
