charles rangel, lita lowey, have all been NY congressmen since i was a kid, a generation ago. these people live in districts that auto-vote. rangel commits tax fraud & still gets re-elected.
dont count on the media becoming more moderate in the future. looks instead like a plague of radical PC is the way of the future. the news media, the entertainment media, has no quarter for the right. everything GOP is racist. sexist. xenophobe. homophobe. tim allen & scott baio are never getting jobs again.
the liberal corporate media is going to ensure GOP victories for the foreseeable future. their extremism (& trumps endless campaigning for next 2 years) will keep the right energized at the polls like no other mid-terms in history.

It's the EXACT same thing in rural areas that are right wing.. Orin Hatch has been a US senator since 1977. John McCain has been a Senator since 1987.
In fact the "ONLY" reason Republicans don't still have a ton of old "safe space" senators is because the Tea Party came along and ran on voting out the old guys and trying to claim term limits were a good thing.. Now all of the sudden they have forgotten about "term limits" now they are in office..
IMO they should have term limits of 10 years..
