Clinton Losing Millennial Support Nationally and in Key States

60. It's all media concoction. Clinton's not a cool mom, just as Trump is the crazy rich grandpa.

What the kidlet's (now reaching her mid-20's) cohort sees is not the "cool mom" who's smart, concerned, and sassy, they see the distant mom with her own career who didn't seem to be as interested in keeping the family together as she is getting that corner office.

The news readers (you know - they used to be journalists, but the journalists all got replaced) - media in general is looking to do whatever they can to grab the most eyes, because the people who own the media are only interested in future revenue. So, disaster porn is the way to go.
Neither care what they're doing - both the news would prefer ten years of political corruption, riots or other social insecurity to breathlessly blather about - to ten years of "slow but steady progress"- when the only interesting things on the news would be the occasional natural disaster or major accident.

So, the news readers are telling the millennial that Hillary Clinton becomes the "Ice Queen" mum who will say or do anything to get what she wants, and Donald Trump is painted as the rich granduncle who "tells it like it is" and really does have their best interests at heart, even though he's a bit bumbling, excitable, and slightly out of touch.
The bet the media is operating on is that millennials are too shallow and dependent on their corporate-owned gadgets and social media to actually question the first bit of gossip they're handed as "fact".
