"Ocasio-Cortez's three interviews this year have included one podcast interview, one print interview with the New York Times, and one TV news interview with CNN. She has largely stopped interviews for the rest of the year after a few in early 2025."
"Democrats who've worked with Ocasio-Cortez's team say they've been surprised by some of her aides' private hostility toward national media, reflecting a broader disdain for mainstream or 'corporate' media."
Ocasio-Cortez has a significant social media following, which she believes reduces her need for traditional interviews. She is cautious in her media interactions, reflecting a disdain for mainstream media among her team. This year, she participated in only three interviews, focusing on specific issues. While she engages with reporters informally, she prefers progressive journalists. Her team has indicated ongoing media projects, but she declined to participate in this particular story, emphasizing her frequent interactions with the press.
