New hypothesis: the main problem with the left might be we blame everyone else for our faults and ourselves for everyone else's.

Talk about a bubble. I promise: plenty of entertainment media pandering to rust-belt-pov. Read this & you can pretend it doesn't exist.

The idea of a smug left that takes no time to understand or admit truth or basis in opposing points of view? That's explainer journalism.

I am frustrated that Vox can publish a piece lamenting a culture of which it is a large proponent and not take any blame on to itself.

What this tells me is that you can't recognize this impulse in your own organization, which means You Learned Nothing.

Making another show about Archie Bunker isn't going to solve the media's exclusiveness and regional centralization...

What will help solve the problem is radically changing how we recruit and amplify voices to the national stage.

You know what would have been great for this election? A look into how terrible it is for rural poor who happen to be black....

Creating empathy through amplification. That's a journalistic mission.

Or you know what else? Actually having on the ground reporting from the terribly destitute in rural America instead of think-piecing it

I can't take another piece about Poor Journalist's Journey from His Racist Roots in Rural America to be Liberal Media, & what wisdom he has.

They almost all manage to do a remarkable job at dodging taking any blame on to themselves.

Also: plenty of us feel significant economic anxiety & discomfort w/status quo Hillary represented & voted for her anyway ...

B/c we care about others over ourselves. About prioritizing basic ability to live in America over economic surety.

The people who voted otherwise made a fundamentally selfish choice that they understood completely. Let's not infantilize them.

We can do better by exposing them to more of the world, to make reality a little more real, to connect a bit better. We don't need to pander

But we *do* need to--now and for the next 4 years--constantly confront them with the human consequences of their choices.

I mean... FFS, avg journalist salary in NYC is 20k+ below the average overall salary. Leftist media journalists understand economic anxiety

Shit, most millennials understand and feel economic anxiety and could still manage to vote for Hillary. That *is not* the whole problem.
