Bias: The one-word explanation for why the liberal media were completely caught off guard by the groundswell of support for Donald Trump among working class families: Obama.
In his book on the 2008 presidential election, former CBS News correspondent Bernie Goldberg titled it "A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (and Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media."
Like any such torrid romance, the mainstream media never could see the flaws in the object of their deep and abiding affection. That devotion continued unabated for eight years.
So, as a result, as failure piled on failure during the Obama administration, the press pretended that all was well.

Good job, and the additional info/articles beneath it (blue-lined) is worth a read as well.
The relationship between the DNC and both NBC/CNN is probably criminal.
Touch tablets, and by extension smortphomes, deliver in actuality what Madonna promised but didn’t..
The Leftardniki are losing their minds today.

This is just BEAUTIFUL....
Snowflake Armageddon...
My quote is a response to the article headline.
if there were a national shift of 0.6% from T to H ... we would be doing the recount now in PA or perhaps PA and FLA. I thought it would be NV and CO. Trump had a different kinda mix, that is for sure.
not that easy to win PA and WI and lose NV
PS
NH has been called for Hillary and AZ called for DT
Thank You. I’m gonna have to save that one and watch it over and over again. Too funny!
Poor snowflakes.
“Hello Darkness... my old friend...”
Heheh... it was perfect.
Rachel Madcow isn’t so smug today, is she...
4 years ago, my current hometown went for Obambi by 15% margin.
Trump won by 8%.
not sure when the last time a GOPer carried this town during an even year. Even in CT, Trump won the male DEMS with no college degree. Of couse, with that kind of a swing, it was more than male DEMS.
small town central CT ... plenty of blue collar
They are true believers in the leftist agenda and their own superiority.
When you work for your boss is that collusion? They are all employed by the same globalist cabal.
Is it me or does anyone else feel the urge to do copious amounts of coke since the wee hours of 11/9?
I read (in 2 different places), that the guesstimate of illegal alien votes was 1.5 million.
The Don CRUSHED her.
The few stills and tiny bit of video I saw of The Don yesterday had me thinking of how regal he is. Like a panther prowling in the wild.
Then I was remembering 2008: Una Paloma Negro and his “Office of the President Elect” garbage. Remember that? Remember the comment he made about RR?
F him. Too bad our WHITE HOUSE was sullied by such a creature.

I see Trump overall just carried 2 counties, Litchfield and Windham (of course, that beat Willard’s 1 win in Litchfield). Windham hadn’t voted GOP for President since 1988.
Another BS article. The MSM is an arm of the DNC. Hubris was the cause of their “miscalculation.” They thought they could control the outcome.
Pepsi is better... and so is Mountain Dew...
I’d say the one word was HUBRIS
