The DeSantis campaign is foundering, and Rich Lowry knows where to put the blame: on the MSM! Sure, DeSantis has run a lousy campaign, and yes, he avoided the MSM like the plague for most of it, but they should have embraced him as a safer alternative to Trump, anyway! Their stories about him were universally negative, and now you see the result.
The obvious objection to this line of reasoning, of course, is that Republican voters don’t trust the MSM–they watch Fox News. DeSantis has been a regular on Fox; Trump has not.
Now you see why I say Lowry is always wrong.
