Technically right
As always the media is doing its soul-search. Nearly all of it follows the standard rules. We failed because we didn't KILL ALL NORMAL HUMANS. We may have left one or two ordinary people insufficiently insulted and insufficiently shat on. Too much balance. Next time we will doublecheck and triplecheck to be PERFECTLY SURE that all non-Tribals are DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD.
One notable exception is Cilizza, who seems to dimly grasp the real problem. He makes only one major error, but it's not really an error....
Look, there's just no way to sugarcoat it: Everyone — and I mean everyone — in the political press and punditry expected Clinton to win. She did not win. That is a failure on our part to properly understand what the electorate was telling us. What it is not is evidence of some sort of inherent liberal bias.Not liberal bias? Well, he's right, though not in the way he thinks he's right. Liberal and conservative have always been slippery words, but before the 1989 Switchover there was some consistency. Before the Switchover, conservatives were military aggressors who favored financiers above all. That's Hillary. Before the Switchover, a moderate liberal was hesitant to use force and was ready to clamp down on the financial class. That's Trump. The media smoothly moved with the Clintons when Bill took office in 1992. Starting new pointless wars in Yugoslavia, deleting Glass-Steagall, helping big corporations to ruin American industry. Conservative. So Cilizza is right. It's not liberal bias, it's just Clinton Dynasty bias.
