The media is Woke twitter, or at least a large part of it.

And if you don't believe that the media doesn't have any influence on people, particularly Biden's base, try reading Chomsky's _Manufacturing Consent_, or even Walter Lippman, if you want to read someone who thinks this influence is a positive thing.

Seems to include the policy setting part of Biden's base.

Which policies and who?

The American Rescue Plan Act is being called the most significant progressive legislation, maybe since the New Deal.

Not saying that makes it bad, but it's certainly boldly progressive.

No, but it includes the vast majority of the 20-30 year old college grads that comprise the rank and file of Biden’s staff. And those people are influential.
