Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?

We are highlighting an article by Michael Tomasky which asks an urgent question

Michael Tomasky wrote last week in The New Republic about the central role the media plays in our democracy. As he notes, the truth about the economy, inflation and other things don’t matter. What matters is how people perceive them and that is through the filter of the media. And “Today, the right-wing media sets the news agenda in this country.” and the establishment press such as the New York Times, NBC, CBS, ABC “follow in its wake”.

”[N]early all the crazy memes that percolated into the news-stream during this election came not from Trump or JD Vance originally, but from somewhere in the right-wing media ecosystem.” which includes “Fox News (and the entire News Corp.), Newsmax, One America News Network, the Sinclair network of radio and TV stations and newspapers, iHeart Media (formerly Clear Channel), the Bott Radio Network (Christian radio), Elon Musk’s X, the huge podcasts like Joe Rogan’s, and much more” they set “the news agenda in this country. And they fed their audiences a diet of slanted and distorted information that made it possible for Trump to win.”
