So why the disconnect? Perhaps it’s like the old saying about the key to good real estate: Location, location location. Most of the national media are located in two places: New York City and Washington, D.C.

In the 2020 election, just 9 percent of Manhattan voters voted for Donald Trump. In D.C., the Trump support was just 5.4 percent, underscoring that those who live in or near these cities exist in overwhelmingly liberal silos. It’s only human nature that a journalist’s perception of issues will generally conform to the places and people with whom he works and lives.

Well, that's a kind explanation.

If you schmooze with spox long enough and you depend on getting your "news" from them (letting them do the story-selection for you, as well as the spin) eventually you come to see things the spox' way. It's like embedding journos into a fighting force- they see only what they're supposed to see and feel they depend on those soldiers for their safety, so they write from the military's POV.

It will break some minds and might make a few people here pass out trying to follow, but we are watching ourselves reflected back at us. All the while people make money off our mood swings and impulses. They do control us and WE (not you individually) unknowingly for the most part - make it so fcking easy.

Mighty good of you to half-concede how terrible your choice is making life for everyone though.
