I think you pegged it. Why can't the media figure it out?

The media can't figure it out because of their bias, but I think a more important issue is that they have a basic inflexibility of thinking that prevents them from seeing things from different vantage points.

They truly are NOT open-minded in the best sense of that term. They're locked into one perspective and therefore lack creativity of thought.
