节目主持人：国家媒体对德桑蒂斯的炒作过早，忽视了他在家乡佛罗里达州的劣势，德桑蒂斯总统竞选失败，为政治新闻报道提供了教训。 Nick Nehamas：福克斯新闻和纽约邮报对德桑蒂斯的早期支持，以及默多克家族企业当时对特朗普的不满，助长了德桑蒂斯的声势，德桑蒂斯在佛罗里达州的大胜并非实至名归，媒体本应更早地揭露其背后的问题，德桑蒂斯的竞选策略过于依赖网络，未能抓住共和党选民真正关心的问题，例如边境和经济，德桑蒂斯的竞选活动在社交媒体上发布了怪异的视频，并以失败告终的Twitter Spaces活动作为竞选启动。 Mary Ellen Klas：德桑蒂斯回避媒体，未能接受挑战性问题，这极大地损害了他的竞选，国家媒体未能深入报道德桑蒂斯在佛罗里达州的执政方式，夸大了他的政策能力，德桑蒂斯在一些政治行动中犯下错误，例如将移民送往马萨诸塞州的事件，以及与迪士尼的冲突，德桑蒂斯是一个“粗心大意的行政人员”。 Tom Scocca：尽管德桑蒂斯的竞选失败，但他仍然成功地将一些不受欢迎的观点输送给了主流社会，德桑蒂斯的竞选影响了公众舆论，使一些不受欢迎的观点能够在主流媒体上出现，仅仅依靠法律程序不足以阻止特朗普，需要采取其他更有效的措施。 节目主持人：媒体对候选人的预测往往不准确，德桑蒂斯的例子证明了这一点，特朗普的竞选策略，例如回避辩论，表明他对民主的漠视，也暴露了传统选举媒体报道的空洞之处。
