Bret, the corporate media, their paid puppets, kept talking about inflation and the economy

The clue is in the adjective, corporate:, the media is owned by corporations, and the purpose, sole purpose of a corporation is to provide investors with a positive return on investment, and that also means survival.

Corporations thrive, make profit, survive in the absence of regulations. Thus are conservative, meaning business oriented, thus Republicans

Inflation, the economy is (was) an abiding concern created by the media, Trump realized the power of reporting when he tried to stop reporting of COVID deaths, George W Bush, the same, when he forbade any media coverage of planes unloading caskets or the DOD announcing military funerals. In fact the only way anyone knew how many had dided in Iraq and Afghanisan, was because the bureaus scoured all of the local papers.

But the Incel and Viagra vote,the Muslim vote, the Gen X,Y and Boomer vote was not about the economy, it was about masculine fears and grievance over loss of power and dominance.

An the media didn't cover that, they kept us distracted over the price of eggs, milk and gas.
