I’m surprised no one has mentioned the mainstream media (MSM) as a major factor in this election. You can’t claim that their bias was not a major factor, can you? They whitewashed/ignored Behngazi, the FEMA response to Sandy, and Fast and Furious. And these were only the most recent examples.
I think that is a given on FR, but you are certainly correct. The Eternally Dying Dinosaur Media ate our lunch once again.
