This is pretty good, but I think it's misleading to take all the "Red Wave" predictions from Fox. I don't watch Fox. I do listen to NPR every morning, and they were just as sure as Fox News that the GOP would win big last November; also as disappointed when it didn't pan out. And I can't help wondering what Chris Hayes was saying before the fact. Don't misunderstand me, I think the lefty-Democratic resurgence is great news and I hope it continues. But corporate news coverage is mostly terrible, and Hayes himself as a booster of "meritocracy" is opposed to democracy.
This
morning, for example, NPR's Morning Edition aired a brief interview on the UAW strike with
Bernie Sanders, which they sought to balance with comments from a guy
from the Brookings Institution. Does NPR "balance" its interviews with
right-wing politicians and pundits by talking to people from the left?
They do not. If they can, they'll talk to commentators who are further to the right.
