Epiphany

Conservatives and Republicans: "Gee, the mainstream media is biased."

MSM: "No we're not."

Breaking news!  "The media didn’t want to believe Trump could win. So they looked the other way."

Extra - Here's Thomas Frank:
Clinton’s supporters among the media didn’t help much, either. It always struck me as strange that such an unpopular candidate enjoyed such robust and unanimous endorsements from the editorial and opinion pages of the nation’s papers, but it was the quality of the media’s enthusiasm that really harmed her. With the same arguments repeated over and over, two or three times a day, with nuance and contrary views all deleted, the act of opening the newspaper started to feel like tuning in to a Cold War propaganda station.
