#10 Jebs failure to launch. When you think about the years of strategic planning that went into a Jeb Bush presidential campaign, well, the scope Jebs failure to launch just exemplifies how disconnected the professional republican apparatus was from the average voter. The party apparatchik genuinely believed Jeb Bush had a chance at winning the nomination. Hundreds of millions of corporate and individual dollars, from major GOP donors, contributed to a campaign that was intensely futile, but the people supporting Jeb seemed oblivious to the reality. Almost every incumbent republican politician aligned with his campaign. Their collective disconnect from the feeling of the average American voter was definitely under reported...
#08 The irrelevance of conservative talk radio. Hugh Hewitt, Glenn Beck, Eric Erickson, Mark Levin, and Charlie Sykes all supported anyone except Donald Trump until there was no-one left except Donald Trump. Their ravings, rantings and anti-Trump endorsements/non-endorsements made absolutely ZERO difference in the republican presidential primary race. They were completely sidelined, held no influence and were simply cast into parking lot spectator status. Unfortunately no-one will ever write a story about it, let alone interview or question them about their newly fractured status...
#02 The wipe-out of the corporate media apparatus. It is understandable why the media would choose not to report on their own irrelevance; yet that doesnt mean their irrelevance is any less a story. Arguably you could make the complete collapse of the U.S. corporate and legacy media the #1 story of this entire election cycle. Never before has any single political election so thoroughly, completely and visibly destroyed the credibility of print or broadcast journalism. Collectively and individually they will never recover from the continual abject and transparent falsehoods they promoted...

A total disconnect from ‘We The People’....biggest in history.
Good list. Spot on.
Need to add the failure to adequately cover the scandals exposed in the wikileaks releases.
Having just read about the disappearance of Braverman, the guy who was supposed to be cleaning up the corruption at the Clinton Foundation, I sure would like to see the media dig into this.
Hewitt trying to play his trained lawyer games in regard to Trump, but as is often the case his legal training overwhelms a realistic macro view of the political landscape as it is, not as he’d like it to be. The Health Minister of Dirkastan is waiting to be interviewed.
How about #1 US ATTORNEY GENERAL LYNCH PLEADS 5th to AVOID INCRIMINATION ON 100 BILLION RANSON TO IRAN TERRORISTS FOR HOSTAGES
A very interesting top ten. Thanks for posting.
Jebs failure to launch.
Please clap!!
Haitian protests regarding distribution of funds from the CGI.
I can’t get the link to load, but assume Comey inventing “intent” into the criminal statutes violated by of our former Secretary of State and her pervert husband is on the list.
Hewitt reminds me of my NeverTrump relative. Just refuses to believe that there aren’t enough people who subscribe to his view of Conservatism to actually win elections.
Here’s My List of the Top Ten Most Under Reported Stories of 2016
1. Obama sucked
2. Hillary sucked
3. Michelle sucked
4. Kerry sucked
5. Lynch sucked
6. Comey sucked
7. Jeh sucked
8. Rice sucked
9. Jarret sucked
10. Reid, Pelosi and the rest of the DemocRat party and their supporters sucked.
If I correctly recall, Hillary was caught cheating in a "townhall" debate, via a telegraphed question from CNN and Brasile. Is any of this in error?
And, if correct, might this qualify to be one of the top ten?
That all said, I do like the list.
(Maybe we need a top 25.)
.
It wasn’t specifically mentioned, but that’s a good one.
Shoot, we could make a top 100. Add the non interest in Seth Rich’s murder to the list.
