Asking voters at some diner in “the heartland” what they think. Spoiler alert: usually a conservative.

Why doesn’t CNN ever go to a coffee shop near a college campus?

old, mean, white men who feel like their "way of life" is threatened by newfangled ideas and those damned kids.

it's usually surrounds what RWers think and feel, which is always the same answer.

Democrats are diverse in their thinking and feelings and that is more inclined to "freedom".

...or so they claim.

The poster never said anything about not watching CNN. But don't let that fact stop a good smear, eh? I guess slavish devtion to big corporate media blinds one from honestly debating a topic.

But they're coming off more like Faux Lite.

News Flash CNN: Take a cue from Ronald DeeSantis, being "lite" anything comes off as fake and phony.

Its like Jane Goodall going to study chimps in the wild... except the chimps are smarter...

crazy eyes and botox faces deserve to asked for opinions.

That also includes TV. I won't be back.

and/or close (first and last impressions) with quotes/clips from Republican politicians/spinners, often without comment or blowing off deceit. And of course editing Democratic quotes to eliminate facts people need to know to understand.

It's done more, and much more obviously, abandoning the normal sneaky subtlety, around elections and other high-attention times. PBS Evening News was using every trick blatantly during the first impeachment period, routinely beginning and ending coverage with Republican congressional clips without comment; we'd only started noticing public television had been taken over after Gwen Ifil died so don't know when it had been taken over. But Judy Woodruff presided over it all. We left.

I definitely remember 2019 and 2020 (pre-pandemic) Democratic focus groups post debates.

Restaurant about their opinion? Urban democrats are not considered the average American by the media. They still think the average American lives in a small whites only town in Iowa or New Hampshire.
