Republican operative Scott Jennings gets it.
After Donald Trump won the presidency, Jennings told a CNN panel that Trump's decisive victory is not only a mandate for the "Make America Great Again" agenda, but it's a stinging indictment of the legacy media and "political information complex."
'I'm interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of just the regular old working-class American.'
"We've been sitting around here for the last couple of weeks, and the story that was portrayed was not true," Jennings observed.
"We were told Puerto Rico was going to change the election. Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley voters, women lying to their husbands. Before that it was Tim Walz and the camo hats," he continued. "Night after night after night, we were told all these things and gimmicks were going to somehow push Harris over the line. And we were just ignoring the fundamentals: inflation, people feeling like they were barely able to tread water at best. That was the fundamentals of the election."
The prescription for a broken media ecosystem, Jennings suggested, is humble pie.
"For all of us who ... do this on a day-to-day basis, we have to figure out how to understand, talk to, and listen to the half of the country that rose up tonight and said, 'We've had enough,'" Jennings explained.
