Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?

Frida Ghitis: Why didn’t a majority of voters see these things? The answer is the right-wing media, she says, which fed their audiences a diet of slanted and distorted information that made it possible for Trump to win.

She says the mainstream media is the size of a volleyball and the right wing is bigger than it is the mainstream.

Ghitis says rich liberals, who have the power to do something about this state of affairs, should take action.

In 2015-16 , Fox made Trump possible, and this year , Fox and the rest of the right-wing media elected him.

Frida Ghitis : Nearly all the crazy memes that percolated into the news-stream during this election came not from Trump or JD Vance originally, but from somewhere in the media ecosystem.

She says the idea that Harris and Biden swiped emergency aid away from victims of Hurricane Helene and gave it all to undocumented migrants started on Fox .

Ghitis asks: If someone moved to U.S. from Mongolia and watched only Fox News , what would that person learn about Trump ?.

Frida Ghitis: Liberals must wake up and do something about it before it’s too late.

She says in two-thirds of the country, people watch Fox , talk radio, local news and local paper with a clear right-wing slant.

Ghitis says the Democratic brand is garbage in wide swaths of America , and this is the reason.
