And this one:
How is that professional - at all?

The CNN panel was divided into 3 categories:
1) The result reporters (including King and Blitzer). These guys were non-partisan and stuck to the facts.
2) The independent moderators (like Anderson Cooper)
3) The liberal talking heads
4) The conservative talking heads.
Categories 3 and 4 are there to be provocateurs.
That is EXACTLY what needs to stop and is exactly what's wrong. It's too combative/oppositional.
People want the straight facts from MSM. Let them get their echo-chamber bull# from their on-line alt sites and their FB feeds.

The problem all along was that trump was the only one getting asked rigged questions about "will you concede", Hillary made no such "statements" because she wasn't asked the rigged question by the rigged media, who were feeding Hillary the questions.

For me, the best thing about Trump's victory is the overwhelming defeat handed to Hillary and the Clinton Machine. However, if I had to pick another upside, it's the total asymmetrical take down of establishment media. Their credibility is totally shot. They are a laughing stock, from their failed data points and polling to their shameless biased coverage.
They consistently dismissed Trump supporter's opinions on what is important for this country and degraded them personally. But, worse, in my opinion, is their total failure in fully vetting Hillary Clinton and their complete shilling for her. If they had done their jobs, maybe the Dems would have run a better candidate. They completely buried the content of the Wikileaks emails and, instead, focused on characterizing them as being an instrument of Russia. Even today, they are scrambling to portray Trump's victory as doom for the U.S. and a failure of our political process rather than a victory.
Where is their criticism of Hillary failing to concede in person? They were so quick to be shocked and appalled by Trump's hypothetical that he would wait and see the results before conceding. Well Hillary did see the results and chose silence. Where is the media?
Where is their coverage of the violent protests in Oakland? Barely a whisper. But all night long they were highlighting the dump trucks in front of Trump Tower. Just dump trucks, out of precaution.
I hope the media giants start falling. It's all wrong and it's all broken. I don't know what will or should replace it. I just know that the media is every bit as corrupt and complicit as Clinton and the rest of the D.C. establishment on either side of the aisle.
Last night's coverage of Trump's victory was absurd and shameless. Feel free to post your editorials, rants, video clips or quoted excerpts here. It was abyssal and should be documented.

Better that way. These people are all but hurt and if the media feeds them the message then they will start more riots. I would rather if they just all peacefully migrate to Canada.

After 8 years of the media coddling and protecting the president from criticism, we will see a return of media manufactured protests and nightly media outrage towards the president.

Good thread. Here's a pompous Van Jones virtue-signalling to America.

"the average Trump voter is white and doesn't have a college degree"
I did not vote for Trump. I did not vote for Hillary either, but I was happy to see Trump win after watching how much disdain they kept showing for the average American.
I was nauseated at the constant reference to Trump's supporters as being White and uneducated.
If they were as educated as they pretend to be, they would know that America was built on the backs and spirit of the poor, and the uneducated. Either they are liars or they are stupid, to try to push the excuse that only the White and the uneducated voted for Trump, since it appears he won. Obviously the educated media has trouble with basic math.

Believe nothing what you hear and MAYBE half of what you read and you will be somewhere closer to the truth. Of course excluding all major media outlets.
