RallyPoint - I love what you do, and I'm so glad to have been back to take some of your questions during this transition period. I wrote a book about my dog - of all things! - during an election year, and it really was a wonderful distraction from all of the politics. I included a gallery of photoshops by @FiveFanPhotoshops, so please check those out - you will laugh, I promise! Love to all of you. Thanks to all of you for serving the USA. And I wish all of you a terrific Thanksgiving!

Hello Dana,
Thanks for coming back to RP. This past election cycle you have talked about media accountability and the responsibility of voters to be properly informed. On an interview with Bill O'Reilly you stated that you've received push back, not only from peers in the media but also voters, about sharing facts over being a cheerleader ("a lot of republicans expect me to be a cheerleader for the candidate" - 'The O'Reilly Factor,' 18 Aug, 2016) and making excuses for Donald Trump (e.g. "I will not lie to you about the state of this race. I will not do it. No amount of peer pressure digital or otherwise can move me" -@DanaPerino). Also, post-election, "fake news" sites which offer fake and bias information on social media have been mentioned as being one of the reasons for the election outcome.
First, what peer pressure did you get and what was said to you?
Second, What do you think about the information bubble people surround themselves with? What should Americans do to be more responsible for the content they consume and the information they share? How dangerous is this media paradigm we are in and what should be done about it?

Oh I see the Vizsla! Gorgeous! Here's one thing I would say - in 2012, I bought into the idea that Romney was going to win, that the polls were skewed. And they weren't. So I said I'd never do that again. That's why I resisted it. And the national polls were mostly correct and within the margin of error. The state polls weren't as good - and besides, my hat's off to the Trump team and to the President-Elect. They sensed the country's mood, they seized the moment and they won BIG. I'm now enjoying covering the transition - I much prefer talking about governing than campaigning anyway!
