    Jeet Heer Retweeted David Byler

    There's some truth to all this but there's also the fact that Warren gets good press because she's a good campaigner and very good at retail politics. This comes across when you talk to reporters who cover her.https://twitter.com/databyler/status/1179812017449758720 …

    New one on why Warren gets v positive press 1) Obvs her rise is a big story 2) Her view of how politics should work (wonky, policy) matches the press's 3) Her support looks like media + their neighbors 4) She matches an upscale idea of who POTUS should be https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/10/03/no-wonder-elizabeth-warren-is-getting-great-press-media-looks-like-her-base/ …

        Clinton was a terrible campaigner and her manner in the rope line was “I want to speak to your manager” and no one ever saw how that effected her press

        Fair, and thus point 1) -- that a lot of the coverage is deserved b/c she's doing v well in the race and there are good reasons why But it does feel like there are a loooot more positive Warren storylines than there would be if someone else surged

        James Conran Retweeted Matt Grossmann

        My impression (subject to self-selection into the media I consume of course!) was her positive coverage long preceded her rise. You probably saw this thread which has some more systematic evidence of causal order:https://twitter.com/MattGrossmann/status/1178381562804670472 …

        I find the notion that national political press just love to geek out over detailed policy proposals just....absurdly laughable.

        She’s also not one to exclaim “corruption!” If you happen to constructively disagree with her.

        It helps her that the only thing unlikable about her are her policies; the thing Dem voters care the least about!

        Replying to @HeerJeet @LauraBergerol

        Part of this debate happens bc media think: "She's from Oklahoma!"+"She was poor!"+"She taught Sunday School!"+ "She talks folksy smart!" should add up to working class support/undercut Trump's appeal. But her base is persistently concentrated among high-earners & post-grads.

        We've been thru this in various iterations before. Obama talked folksy & plain, triumphed over adversity, went to Harvard. It worked for him, but there's been a bit of a "fool me once" vibe since 2014ish...
