The media promoted and protected Obama... and openly threw in with Hillary during the 2016 election, including several who expressed that it was their “duty” as media to derail Trump’s candidacy. Their silence wrt Obama was tacit partisanship (and purely for the sake of partisanship, because it would otherwise have been extraordinarily newsworthy stuff), but their open and admitted hostility to Trump and their kid gloves treatment of Clinton was a bridge too far. For sure it too was partisan, but self-destructive at the same time. They were sure she would win and end up whitewashed in the final analysis. They are still not over the fact that they lost and have left themselves no room to walk back. Whatever credibility they may have had left is now burned to cinder.
