The answer is the right-wing media. Today, the right-wing media—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—sets 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.

AND: The democrats refused to meet the voters where they were… neither Harris or Waltz went on Rogan. Thiel, Musk, Vance and Trump all met the listeners where there were. So instead of recognizing the power of the right wing system – they ignored it.
