Do the "Meet the Candidates" interviews in the media influence anyone's support of a presidential candidate?

Question

Meet the Press is interviewing every major candidate, but does this actually influence voters or does it merely provide fodder for the opposition to attack?

Answer 1

People that watch "Meet the Candidates" I think are usually ones who have already made up their minds, so no I don't think it does much to influence votes, but gives more stuff for the press to report.
