The story is certainly more complex. Having newspapers aligned with the parties that served their readers mattered tremendously in the lead up, see Hearst’s platform in running for governor. But universal public education seems to be a baseline ingredient for big positive sum politics.

Minute 43: Advertising for “Ground News” which “balances” NBC with The Federalist so you get the “unbiased truth.” That asymmetrical media regime is killing us. Dems got to get in the game.
