MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews put forth a theory on Thursday night that the reason droves of everyday Americans aren’t as obsessed with the Trump-Russia investigation (aka removing Trump from office) as the New York City and Washington D.C. liberal media are due to the decline of local newspapers featuring national news stories about Russian collusion.

“But that said, even apart from the reaction of a group like that, we hear from lawmakers of both parties, including liberal Democrats that, when they go home, people do not care about Russia. So, you know, we're obsessed with it in the bubble,” Associated Press congressional correspondent Erica Werner stated.
