So, to be clear, Vox is very much part of the problem. Vox co-founder Matt Yglesias has openly said that he wants “wrong right-wing ideas to be discredited while wrong left-wing ideas gain power” in order to shift the US policy status quo to the left. In other words, Vox wants to tell their own narrative, and the President is better at getting his narrative out there than they are.
This doesn’t mean that what’s going on here isn’t a problem, it is. But a solution to these sorts of media issues and incentives is going to need to address Vox’s own misbehavior and related concerns as well.
