Who was it who said "never ascribe to malice, what can be adequately explained by incompetence"?
The MSM came into the internet age at the same time as their owners started being hit by competition. The owners put the news staff on short leashes for cost reasons, and it took only a few short years for those reporters to basically never leave the building. You could do interviews via the phone and email, research on the internet, and bingo, you have a perfect bubble the journalists never got out of.
I don't know how many reporters and talking heads I heard say this cycle that they basically knew NOBODY that voted for Trump.
That's because they know NOBODY outside their hyper-provincial urban world.
