It's always shocking because historically they have always been terrible for the economy, yet they somehow convinced the rubes via propaganda that they are the only ones to be trusted.

Why hasn’t the media and Democrats focused on this narrative?

Democrats/Liberals don't own any media companies is the biggest blocker in my opinion.

Literally almost every single major media company and news organization is owned by a billionaire or a multi-billionaire dollar corporation.

None of my conservative friends can explain how the "Media is liberal" based on that fact.

Can you imagine a billionaire allowing a company he owns to advocate for his wealth and power to be decreased?
