Podesta: Hillary Clinton lost because media gave Donald Trump ‘a pass’
The Washington Times ^ | November 11, 2016 | Douglas Ernst

A private conference call Thursday with Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, communications director Jennifer Palmieri and other aides addressed what Ms. Palmieri called “the most devastating loss in the history of American politics,” The Hill reported Thursday.

“The media always covered [Mrs. Clinton] as the person who would be president and therefore tried to eviscerate her before the election, but covered Trump who was someone who was entertaining and sort of gave him a pass,” Mr. Podesta said. “We need to reflect and analyze that and put our voices forward.”

He’s technically probably correct; the only functional media that examined her was wikileaks, project veritas, and the alt media. anyone who would have examined her would have “done her in.”

Utter nonsense, but the most laughable headline now on FR.

Dude, we learned from WikiLeaks that YOU told the media what to say and when to say it... so that means YOU screwed up.

No, because interestingly...there were no emails in his account prior to May 4, 2007.

"Most devastating loss" award goes to Walter Mondale, but I appreciate Hillary's effort.

If the press was fair she would have made Mondale look like a contender.

Always someone else's fault with these people.

How stupid can Podesta be to be hacked in that manner and have such a silly password? Does he know anything about computers?

It was more like the FBI/DoJ gave Hillary a pass and we all saw through it.

Democrats lost because Hillary was a bad candidate. She’s a liar, money launderer, and traitor among other things. Their big mistake was they really believed that all of those things didn’t matter to voters, and they just ran her anyway. They really believed that voters didn’t care, and all they had to do was lie to us, and manipulate the polls, and the propaganda would vault her over the top. Reagan said that character matters. It still does. She lost for a good reason and they need to get over it

the only time the media even came close to giving trump a pass was during the primary when Hillary instructed the media too because she wanted to run against trump because she thought he would be less competitive then any of the other 16 candidates. Hillary was the one treated with kid glove

“He’s overdosed on cheeze pizza.”

Podesta & Hillary need to throw a pity party at Chuck E Cheez.

When the entitled Amish fights break out & chairs are hurled, they can blame Trump for that, too.

Liars lie - they can’t help it - the propaganda must go on because it’s all they have to work with. Pathetic!
