Clinton’s supporters among the media didn’t help much, either. It always struck me as strange that such an unpopular candidate enjoyed such robust and unanimous endorsements from the editorial and opinion pages of the nation’s papers, but it was the quality of the media’s enthusiasm that really harmed her. With the same arguments repeated over and over, two or three times a day, with nuance and contrary views all deleted, the act of opening the newspaper started to feel like tuning in to a Cold War propaganda station. Here’s what it consisted of:
How did the journalists’ crusade fail? The fourth estate came together in an unprecedented professional consensus. They chose insulting the other side over trying to understand what motivated them. They transformed opinion writing into a vehicle for high moral boasting. What could possibly have gone wrong with such an approach?
I think the media also factored in because of over-confidence.
1. Trump was a horrible, terrible person, who no one, who was a decent person, could ever like or support. The msm never, ever said one positive word about him.
2. All the msm’s polls confirmed he was going to lose and lose big.
So my question is ... after hearing the above for almost 2 years, how many comfy, self-satisfied lefties didn’t bother to vote since her election was so much in the bag? As much as the msm wanted to suppress Trump supporters from voting, I believe their antics backfired and they suppressed their own side far more.
