The breathless coverage was reminiscent of the media’s palpable anxiety during the unrest in Ferguson and Baltimore. It’s a sense that things aren’t going according to plan, the sense that politics belongs in a split-screen on TV, not out in the streets.Actually it's not quite so much a mystery. Mainstream press conceptualizes politics as less a participatory civic event and more of a consumer product.
"Keep shopping!"
