Short answer... Nobody.

It was a relevant rag prior to 1980... Then came Reagan. Reagan sent what was already a left wing media completely over the edge... They claimed (wrongly) that it was a neck and neck race between Reagan and Carter... The true polls, those opened for voting on election day, proved them of wrong, not as wrong as the 2016 election but pretty close to that.

They hated Reagan and railed against him for 8 years and since then, Time and the rest of the left-wing press has shown their obvious bias towards left leaning Democrats, and against Republican’s of any sort, except the odd RINO like Dole, or McCain who they root for to win the Republican nomination so that the weak Democrat nominee such as Obama, or Clinton can actually win.

The press hasn’t been honest for decades and that’s why Trumps claim that they mostly produce ‘Fake’ news rings so true. They’ve tainted themselves to the point where they are completely ignored and not credible anymore.

Too bad, so sad.

It was such a "close race" that the networks had pretty much called the race for Reagan by 8:30 IIRC.

One thing that FOX Sports Radio host Colin Cowherd points out (correctly) is that the Establishment Media mostly operates in a very "tight" cultural bubble centered around New York City, Los Angeles and (to a slightly lesser extent) Washington, DC. The Establishment Media essentially are the akin to the denizens of the fictional capital of Panem from the Hunger Games novel trilogy with its amoral, indulgent, parochial and sanctimonious attitude.
