Because Donald & MAGA are experts in distraction & they're flooding the zone with disinformation & pure nonsense. And people are oddly attracted to sensational nonsense.

Its because the news orgs want Trump to win and are putting their hands on the scales. Trump and his band of shitheads are not experts in anything. They don't have a grand plan. They're just being buoyed by the oligarchical billionaires who own our media.
