Yes, the MSM has admitted they got 2016 exactly wrong and that they are out-of-touch with the average American. What truly terrifies the media about 2016, though, is something that has remained largely unspoken. It is what Trumps victory said so clearly about the MSMs inability to influence public opinion and, by extension, the outcome of elections. What has also remained unspoken is the medias desperate and dangerous reaction to this waning influence.
As a 25 year media-watcher, I have never seen anything close to the propaganda campaign the national media launched to defeat Donald Trump last year. It was 24/7, it was coordinated across every news outlet, it was all-hands-on-deck. And Trump still won. Which can only mean that the medias influence has eroded to a point where, despite hurling every kitchen sink available, they suffered a humiliating loss last November.
Before I get into the grit of the nit, it is important to keep in mind that our media is nothing more than the communication branch of the Democrat Party. When you look at everything the media does the lying, the campaigns of personal destruction, the fake news, the focus on stuff like Melanias shoes this explanation is the only one that makes sense. The media is a full-blown leftwing political operation run, for the most part, by former Democrat operatives like Jake Tapper, George Stephanopolous, and Chuck Todd, as well as those related to Democrat operatives.
Knowing that, and knowing the long history of leftwing regimes (Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Chavez, Castro), we know what a leftwing political operation does when its influence begins to diminish. Because their ideas are so unappealing and are proven failures, the left ultimately has no choice but to embrace violence and censorship.

Trump’s position on NAFTA is specifically geared to the breakup of the huge global monopolies controlling the sale of ...everything. This is a long term strategy aimed at returning control of everything produced in this country to the producers in this country.
Didn’t Perot win 19% of the votes in one election?
If Jill Stein wasn’t the spoiler this time, Hillary probably would have won. So many states were close, especially those Dem states that went Republican for the first time in decades.
Can you imagine having to invent such a preposterous claim to distract from a catastrophic failure. And it still works among their most ardent imbecile followers.
Yep those 1992 numbers I posted work out to 19.something percent.
Trump’s election was absolutely everything going exactly right at exactly the right time with zero margin left over. Jill Stein getting votes in PA and some other states. Bernie voters staying home in spite. Who has ever in their life seen anything like HRC’s 9/11/16 full body seizure? Comey coming out two weeks before the election. The “Clinton Cash” book. The arrogance of “What, with a cloth?” Maybe even Amish and Mennonite voters in Pennsylvania.
It was a “perfect storm” for American voters; well put.
I loved it when Hillary initially tried to present herself as a victim, yet many leftists turned on her and (rightly) blamed her for the loss. She was a horrible candidate, bad enough so that even Bernie and Jill voters were repulsed by her.
It is really ironic because only uneducated people still trust MSNBCNN; most Hillary voters weren’t an educated elite but rather a covetous mob of government workers and those on the government dole.
Why did you not cite the author in accordance with FR rules?
Take a good hard look at Spain today and tell me how the Pinochet model worked in the long run.
“In the end, their polls were right, on a national basis. They predicted HRC’s completely irrelevant national vote total win. But apparently, only Putin was able to craft the electoral college strategy that would convert the swing states while not alienating core red states. How brilliant is Putin as an election strategist?”
“Can you imagine having to invent such a preposterous claim to distract from a catastrophic failure. And it still works among their most ardent imbecile followers.”
Although I can appreciate your witty comments, I still believe that the alleged popular vote totals were fraudulent, since the numbers that put the Hag over the top were from Marxocrat strongholds riddled with corruption, therefore invalidating the MSM polls. It was simply a case where the lying MSM and the criminal Marxocrats all thought the fix was in. They just didn’t count on Trump’s YUGE voter base turning out to nullify the rampant voter fraud that we know now did actually occur.
Pinochet shot all of the communists in Chile
The antif-fascist communists from the USA went to Spain in the 30’s to fight against Franco.
I don’t ever remember seeing Amish and Mennonite voters before Trump...
Oops I got Franco and Pinochet confused.
Google must be broken up, or it will break us. It has a monopoly and it is now using its power like a thin skinned tyrant to silence conservatives.
This company along with Facebook, and amazon must be broken up into many competing companies owned by different people.
