Good to see some pushback against the bizarre media fellation of Trump voters because they once drove a truck.

Yes, clearly the most serious problem with the mainstream media these days is that they pay too much attention and are too sympathetic to economically disadvantaged groups. That explains everything!

They only pay attention to whatever group they perceived swung the last election.  No one is paying attention to poor people in Baltimore because they don't happen to live in a swing state.  But if you're poor in Pennsylvania your problems matter.

This is actually true. There's also a strong racial undercurrent to how media covers voters. CNN decides to send reporters to diners in Scranton, PA to ask them about the world's happenings, but never to cities where they probably vote >85% Democrat.
