November 11, 20169 yr I mean they swallowed the DNC narrative hook line and sinker. They pushed the agenda as hard as it could. The people bought it. It was gonna be a huge victory they said. 538 still has on their website 78.4 to 28.6 a Clinton victory and thats a all time low. What caused them to do this? And it has not stopped either. Just turn on Fox, CNN, MSNBC etc and they are still trying to figure it out. How many here took the bait they Main Steam Media threw out there? Thats who you should be mad at. Maybe if you had the real facts things would have been done differently. Never again underestimate a rally everyday thats full and running over while the other candidate has to get music stars to pack the arena. There were alot of signs for all to see. Next time look closer than CNN.
November 11, 20169 yr Not sure how much they are to blame, but I love seeing them wallowing in their tears now that they have lost as they realize they do not have the influence they once did.
November 11, 20169 yr I don't know how much they have to blame, but first with the Brexit vote in the UK and now this Trump election we've seen two absolutely massive races with the polling data suggesting the wrong result. It may have helped encourage those folks who voted for neither candidate or cast a vote for a third party since they thought Clinton was going to win; we really can't know that and I personally don't think that's the case. In the end, people were mad and they voted that way. Hard to blame them given what the economy has looked like for a lot of these folks in the last 30 years.
November 11, 20169 yr Forget the shock, I think the media is to blame for TRUMP! Without all that free pub he received early on in the primaries, I doubt he ever comes out on top. Media needs to look itself in the mirror.

Media needs to look itself in the mirror. They are still up to the same ole games Science. Reporting on all these protests without reporting for the most part the protesters are being bused in. That just makes us right wingers madder.
November 11, 20169 yr The MSM learned nothing from the election results. It began with Trump rallies during the primaries. People were planted in the crowds to create fights and they delighted in covering it, calling Trump the divisive candidate. MSM coverage could not run enough videos and now Trump is being railed upon because he used them and won. Beat them like a drum at their own game. They now are aiding and abetting rioters with their constant hateful divisive rhetoric. Van Jones on CNN is a disgrace to journalism or whatever it is he thinks himself to be. The tragedy of it all will be if there are lives lost. They keep screaming for Trump to do something. Well, last time I checked Obama is still POTUS and he should speak up that this was a free, fair and democratic process. I think part of this also fell on Hillary to come to her venue on election night and speak to her volunteers and supporters. She must have been inconsolable because all the pollsters and MSM mislead her. I know she was upset, but she could have told them they worked hard, she appreciated them yet fell short of a victory. She could have joined them and cried with them. Share sorrow with them and help start the acceptance of the results. This is how a democracy works.

Podesta comes to the podium and says we're not finished and the candidate never comes out and addresses those there for her. That certainly could have helped fan the flames. It may have softened the image that people have of Hillary had she come out and shown some real emotion with her clearly distraught supporters. Instead she comes of looking bitter and petty.

November 11, 20169 yr The media cares about one thing above all else - ratings. That is their agenda. Whatever headlines can get them the most viewers and website hits - that is the agenda. Pander to the demographic their advertisers will pay them ad time for. They are greed motivated just like everyone else.
