Powerful, wealthy pundits who depend on corporate news channels to pay their exorbitant salaries have an incredibly hard time understanding the rage and disillusionment this unfair economy inspires.

Maybe, just maybe, they should have on some people from outside the system.
Because until they start asking people who understand why others are so upset and so frustrated, they're not ACTUALLY analyzing the news, they're only attempting to sway the news and perception toward status quo-benefiting narratives.
This is how you get the erasure of Elizabeth Warren and how you get hours upon hours of sighs and barely-hidden frustration over Bernie Sanders.

It isn't news.

It's a corporate arm reacting to developments that aren't beneficial to the corporate body.
The inability to explain what's going on politically in this country comes from a lack of representation from every walk of life, including the voices and representatives of people who don't benefit from cushy, politically-linked, insider-access into WASP elite culture.
This is how, in 16, everyone thought Donald Trump would lose. Because they were all cogs in a system that they believed was fundamentally sound and would never reward someone like him.

They were out of touch with the country and isolated in their top-down, chess-game perspective
This moment isn't that hard to understand if you're living in it instead of watching from a studio and relying on data that seems inexplicable and inscrutable.

Break open the media bubble. Get more perspectives. Change the way you work, because it just isn't working.
