Media's Failure to Learn from Trump

The media has not learned significant lessons from Donald Trump's presidential wins, particularly the 2016 election's shock. Following Trump's 2016 victory, many media organizations pledged to better understand the sections of the American population that supported him, yet they have largely continued their previous narratives. Rather than genuinely engaging with those voters, the media fell back on labeling Trump supporters with terms like 'fascists,' rehashing their long-standing biases instead of attempting to comprehend the voters' motivations. This ongoing failure to understand and accurately represent a considerable portion of the American electorate reflects a broader disconnect between legacy media and the realities of the political landscape.
