Democrats say they now know exactly why Clinton lost

[still_one]

83. f*k Mcclatchy and this sudden media coverage telling us why Hillary lost, conveniently ignoring how

they staked the deck themselves with their double standard coverage, and distortions. Let's not talk about how when Comey sent the letter to Congress, the MEDIA falsely characterized it as the "FBI reopened the email investigation":

and it isn't a coincidence that immediately after the press FALSELY characterized that event, Hillary's poll numbers dropped from her lead to dead even. There is no doubt in Nate Silver's mind that this caused Hillary's lost.

Of course they also ignore the Russian interference

This isn't rocket science.

In a New York Times article, what Hunter Thompson described regarding George Wallace has a pretty good handle on what happened:

"For the television networks the spectacle became irresistible, particularly since rallies often erupted into violent chair-throwing confrontations between Mr. Wallace's supporters and angry demonstrators. Hunter S. Thompson understood that George Wallace's followers were not interested in position papers on banking regulations or the pros and cons of thermal energy. Watching the Alabama governor perform was awe-inspiring to the gonzo journalist, who likened the rallies to a Janis Joplin concert "in which the bastard had somehow levitated himself and was hovering over us."

The article then goes on to describe a part of America that many would like to ignore:

"Both George Wallace and Donald Trump are part of a long national history of scapegoating minorities: from the Irish, Catholics, Asians, Eastern European immigrants and Jews to Muslims and Latino immigrants During times of insecurity, a sizable minority of Americans has been drawn to forceful figures who confidently promise the destruction of all enemies, real and imagined, allowing Americans to return to a past that never existed."

Well the media should be real proud of itself because with their help their ratings should be going through the roof with trump in the WH. Hell, maybe they can try to push us into war with NK as they did Iraq. Do you realize what that would do for their ratings or readership?
