The Democratic Party Has an 'MSNBC Problem'

55. Cable infotainment is not a great platform for Democrats

FOX is successful because their loyal viewers respond to propaganda and repetition without skepticism. The cable news format is at odds with viewers who crave substance.

Aside from that, the administration's efforts to discredit mainstream news outlets is working. It is not a credible challenge to center on scandal stories and call out FOX for it's lack of substance.

People are legitimately skeptical of news that comes through the internet. So, I a not sure how Dems can solve this, but Levitz has a point that does need to be addressed.

Something that seems to be helping is a serious grassroots challenge. A strong ground game that brings the message DUers believe is obvious straight to voters. Voters in my area are responding to campaigns that have one on one conversations with voters WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. The people who are persuadable see politicians as all the same. Many didn't vote because they did not like either candidate. It works best if we accept their assessment as valid and consistent with their reality. If we want them to vote for Dems, we have to convince them that there is something for them in future policy making.
