If the winning candidate is a white supremacist, then it is perfectly reasonable to prefer a different candidate, and wonder if those votes may also be white supremacists as an election is a reflection of the population, and often people that agree with these ideas were also voters for Obama, yes.
Was the winning candidate a white supremacist?
Isn't the problem simply that democrat-leaning media have fallen prey to partisan division , as a reaction to the same thing happening to republican-leaning media? Media on the right are protecting themselves by creating a bubble around their audience, and the other side responds by doing the same? EDIT: replaced left and right with democrat/republican.
Some of the opinion pieces on CNN and MSNBC (Maddow etc) are basically left-wing version of Qanon. Whilst FoxNews gets rightly criticized when voicing such nonsense, the more liberal channels get a free pass. It’s wildly divisive and has severely damaged society over the last 5 years. But CNN and MSNBC got their ad-clicks, which I guess is the important thing.
It's basically something that scratches the itch of human curiosity, but with manipulative and lowest common denominator garbage. We'd all be better off if we scratched that curiosity itch by reading about things we're interested in, rather than current events.

They were created (and everyone knows) to report from a "point of view" of the right.
The "left wing" media pretend to be the only real/factual news/journalism, but can be just as biased and partisan, if not worse.

CNN has you thinking of left wing media?
