5. When I watched MSNBC, the analysts seemed out of touch.

They just didn't seem to represent the voters and they especially didn't seem to represent the swing voters. They skewed liberal, but they didn't skew rural or working class. They all seemed very urban based.

It was difficult to watch. They also seemed very focused on identity politics, not day to day living. They don't seem to understand the world people see around them, and they especially don't seem to know what small business owners are suffering. They don't seem like people who even patronize small businesses.

Many of these people had been associated with campaigns, too.

Worse, lots of them were laughing, as if it's all a game or something. I had to turn it off. I find the media somewhat complicit anyway, their forcing out Biden because of age and then not doing the same with Trump, the debate moderators who threw gotcha questions at the Dems but never grilled Trump on his miserable record, the list goes on.
