An old debate within media circles was reopened this week when Kelly McBride of the Poynter Institute posed the question about whether journalists should vote. Some emphatically argued no, while others thought the question itself was faulty.

On this week’s edition of Beat The Press, Emily Rooney was joined by former CNN White House correspondent Dan Lothian; Jon Keller of WBZ News; Dan Kennedy of Northeastern University; and Callie Crossley of WGBH News.
