This is not to say that media is the only problem. Political operatives on the left have also failed to understand the aging population of working class and middle class whites, their sense of entitlement in peril and their embrace of the powerful in exchange for patronage.

In the UK, one politician has been subject to the longest continuous smear campaign in UK history, and we are all influenced by it. Over 75 per cent of Jeremy Corbyn media coverage factually misrepresents him.
In the last thirty years, the bulk of the UK and US media has become controlled by just a handful of corporate billionaires. Between them, they control the lion’s share of mass-media. Highly biased, normally with a strong political sway, and largely unregulated.https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/opinion/jeremy-corbyn-is-the-most-smeared-politician-in-history/18/07/?fbclid=IwAR3D3s0GZX9SIhDSk5_YaPe173DuqZXJVvbF41FGt4YuRbKxiRB2dYTS6vs
