I can't imagine why the US news media would be unhappy with the election, after all the Dumpster is going to provide it with excellent copy for as long as he lasts as president.

Yeah. They're "Reality" television is suddenly really reality.

so you didn't watch that morning joe video with scarborough then. sounds about right.

the cbs OP article applies to this as well.

anyway, your deflection...that's the easier softer way cop-out and you should be intelligent enough to know that.

the media party were slobbering at the idea of continuing the dangerous prog forward dream, this time with the (a queen) first woman president. they could turn it to spectacle, fawn, drool and goo and gaw. they'd be rubbing themselves all over it. because they had a hand in it. because they created her. because they did it.

but instead, they were wrong of course. really really wrong.

arrogant 'til the end. your moral and intellectual superior until the compilations of sjw's crying at hildebeast's sound defeat.

they know they were whistling through the graveyard but all encouraged one another to maintain the narrative.

they saw that (apparently according to polls as well) that about 70% of Americans distrust the mainstream media.

they cared not because they have the airwaves and printing presses and idiotic advertisers told that it's a popular and profitable thing to advertise in our papers, on our talking-head 'news' and pundit programs.

the celebs are embarrassed too. they shot their know-it-all mouths off thinking they were still amongst the majority, able to sway their breathless fans. wrong again.

they all look stupid now. and the're mad. and humiliated.



tough titty.

Trump's so-called racist comments are only racist to those who want to interpret them that way, those who generalize.
He said SOME Mexicans are criminals, therefore people like you think that means ALL Mexicans are racist.
He criticized Islamic Muslim terrorist, therefore he hates ALL Muslims.
He wondered if Khan's wife didn't speak because of their religion, therefore he INSULTED the Khans.(A lot of other people wondered that too).
If you want to see a racist around every corner, hiding in every nook and cranny, racism in every word of criticism spoken about individuals, you'll see it no matter what.
It's all rubbish!
And of course she holds those ideas because the press told her Trump said them , not because she actually took the time to her him speak .
I would watch a Trump interview or rally and come away impressed by Trump's speech and positions , but seeing the next mornings coverage I would wonder if they were covering the same event I saw .

Yeah baaaabeeee... you feel that sting? That's pride talking to ya boy!

But Gopher will never tell you why Faux news has the highest ratings of all news media .
Shoot the messenger when you can't control the message .

Fox has improved over the years, they can smell the tar and feathers and adjusted to meet the challenge, the rest persist in thier delusion.

Obviously Gopher voted for the stupid party.
Let me rephrase that for you
Gopher voted for the losing party , House , Senate , and President .

Has anyone noticed that the press has become responsible for the administration? Each wing has its press not just one
That's why any statement that begins with "The press. . ." is automatically stupid.

Let me rephrase that for you
Gopher voted for the losing party , House , Senate , and President .
Yeah, but only because the Governorship and the state legislature wasn't in the election and we don't vote for Supreme Court justices, or he'd'a lost them too.

ITHACA, NY—In the hours since the Republican nominee’s stunning election to the nation’s highest office Tuesday night, reports have confirmed that, regardless of circumstance, it is not even remotely close to okay to act like Donald Trump. “Just to be perfectly clear, speaking or behaving in a manner similar to President-elect Trump is just as unacceptable now as it has ever been,” the reports stated, adding that in zero percent of cases is it even borderline permissible to conduct oneself either personally or professionally in a fashion akin to Trump, and that has not changed in the past two days. “In fact, acting like Mr. Trump does for even a moment will result in a wide range of negative social—and in some cases, criminal—consequences for you personally. Put simply, you should not be engaging with the world in any way comparable to Mr. Trump. This was true before he was elected, and it will be true long after he’s gone.” At press time, the reports’ findings were being summarily dismissed out of hand by roughly 45 percent of the nation’s population in a manner identical to that of Donald Trump.

Oh pooowr etttto witto wacist can't handle de pwess.
And you're EXACTLY the type of person who helped lose the election for Hillary.
We diagnose them as racists in the way Dark Age clerics confused medical problems with demonic possession.
In other words, you and your intellectually stunted ilk are f*cking clueless.
Do you even understand what the f*ck racism even is? Not wanting a bunch of undocumented people running around the country isn't racist. Not wanting an ideology that is completely antithetical to Western values is not racist. Calling Black people "super predators"? Now THAT'S racist.

A Vanquished Press
Fails To Comprehend
Its Defeat by Trump


[...]


Mr. Trump won because the United States has had the 15 worst years of misgovernment by all branches and both parties, and the only period of absolute and relative decline, in its history. The new president will have a clear mandate for reform of taxes, spending, health care, immigration, and campaign financing; for a workfare program to address decrepit infrastructure; and for a redefinition of the national interest between George W. Bush’s mindless interventionism andMr. Obama’s Panglossian crusade to make friends of America’s enemies.


Donald Trump is the oldest and wealthiest person elected president, the first not to have had a public office or high military command, the first to pay for his own campaign, and the first since Washington to waive his salary. He has defeated the Clintons, the Bushes, the Obamas, and almost all the dishonest, myth-making national press (including David Remnick). The national political press has declined even more precipitously than the political class, and the president-elect was elevated despite the animosity of both, a signal achievement whose significance those who have been vanquished show no signs of grasping.
