The Acela media

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has coined a new phrase: "the Acela media."

His reference was to the high-speed AMTRAK train that travels between Washington, D.C., and Boston. DeSantis was indirectly criticizing the major media that have headquarters along that corridor, media that largely decides what Americans will know -- or not know -- about the COVID-19 virus and other subjects.
