This BTW is how you involve in the story the reality of what the voters think, which is an important portion of election coverage, while still upholding your basic journalistic responsibility to communicate to people what’s actually going on.

Because the news misleads them, all the time and constantly
A lot of people also really don’t understand how our government/elections work. The war on having an educated populace has been pretty successful in my opinion. Especially in Conservative areas of the country.
Liberals will complain to high heaven about how the NYT or WaPo or NPR has lied to them once again, then mechanically kick in another bucket of money during fundraising season.
Because we need a free, fair, and independent press, you see?
Most people, let alone voters, don’t actually watch or read any actual reporting regardless of bias. They get news through content-creators, so it’s all bite-sized with all critical thinking removed.
