The money these national media figures are paid is higher by far than the people they are reaching, the cast of people they have as experts more than likely have incredibly high salaries and the people they interview are usually people drawn from a small pool of "experts" or "opinion makers" that is easily assessable to the news people.

They don't report any news that has to be explained, they just get people talking around a narrative the suits the gigantic corporation that allows them to present the views of that corporation to the masses.

These media arms of a gigantic conglomerate of varied companies make a good chunk of their income stream with special interest advertising that is skewed to message that only a few opinion makers can afford.

Tell me where is there any real consistent voice talking about the issues that are of a concern for the middle and lower class?

They condescend to the rest of us by pushing stories like NAtalie Hollywood or what ever her name was.
