Commentary from one of the local Miami media...this one is the fox station...

1. How SAD it is for the Obamas and Hillary, they worked soooo hard in Pennsylvania.

2. Trump was able to get elected because he was a "reality tv" star.

3. Trump abused social media and no one "fact checked" him....but Obama used it splendidly. .

4. Trump will have to start to listen to generals, etc. He has to learn how to administrate. (Uh, he has RUN A BUSINESS FOR FORTY YEARS, FOLKS!)

Since I have cut the cord on cable, I will have to find another network to watch.

"Trump was able to get elected because he was a "reality tv" star."

This is my only comment of the night: for me, this election was a referendum on the media as much as anything else, and the media lost. And nothing was more typical of the media than the comment above, in which they all adopted the phrase "reality TV star" to describe Trump, ignoring his years as a major businessman, years which made possible his derivative stint as a television personality. These same people never snarkily referred to Sen. Al Franken as "Stewart Smalley" or as a mere "TV personality," but as someone with the gravitas that you presumably obtain merely by being a Democrat.

So the media can screw itself, and I very much doubt they will learn a lesson from this. They are incapable of learning because they think they know it all.
