The only type of bellwether the media understands are liberatarian upscale suburban districts, which they identify with. A bellwether with any other demographic profile is going to have horrific mistakes and hot takes in the mass media coverage, if they're covered at all.
Seriously. Their coverage of the MT special election was hilariously bad, and I can’t remember the last time I saw that many hot takes/meaningless buzzwords/clichés used in such a short period.
I managed to find some decent coverage of that, but it was from someone who was originally from Montana.
