If that happened, then you should be able to prove it. Can you?
I said they had the opportunity since they created the news by running the polling operations then reporting it. Most had Clinton +4 to +6 the day before the election. So either they were horrible at polling or trying to make Clinton look good. I can prove they reported polls that turned out to be way off but why that was the case is hard to say. I know Nate Silver got attacked by the left for giving Trump a 35% chance of winning when most of the news outlets gave him only a 10% chance or less.

Are you seriously suggesting that there were no media stories about WikiLeaks, the Anthony Weiner indiscretions, Benghazi, Clinton Foundation scandals, deleted e-mails, her private server, WhiteWater, and Bill's womanizing?
CNN's reporting of the Clinton Foundation took up 3 links on the first Google search page. One explained the Clinton Foundation and how wonderful they believe it is, one was about a Fox news report about the Clinton Foundation CNN said was not accurate and the last was about how much better the Clinton Foundation is compared to the Trump Foundation. Nothing about any of the controversies surrounding it or Pay for Play allegations.
When googling the Trump Foundation CNN has 7 very negative stories. At the very least both foundations had controversies going on during the election but CNN chose only to report issues with Trump.
I could use this sort of example over and over.

Trump battled with Fox in a way very different than the past few Republican candidates for president. Megyn Kelly was a example of that. Sure Fox was tough on Clinton but not a rubber stamp for Trump at all.
He can kiss any damn re-election goodbye if he is just to go "Obama it". Promise the world, and deliver NOTHING. The American people aren't going to be hoodwinked again and give a 2nd term to another liar
Why don't people follow through on s*** anymore??
They had no problem giving Gomer Bush a second term and anyone with a measurable IQ knew he lied thousands of soldiers to their deaths in Iraq. In other words, relax.

It's too early for you to feel betrayed.
Some of us do not believe in capital repatriation, and supply side economics because we have experienced those tricks before and we realized they do not work.
Learning from experience is good.
Evaluate Trump's performance in 2 yrs.
I do like that you are paying attention though. That's a good sign

I disagreed with everything the man said during the election. He is now going back on what he said. I still think he is a major dickbag and will never respect him. He's a lying, slithering, orange, small handed weenie.
He isn't going back with one exception... prosecuting Clinton... need to stop reading liberal propaganda from WaPo...
True, and for sure the liberal media bastions of yellow journalism are doing their best to discredit anything and everything that Trump does or says, and their goals to destroy the man also include trying to discredit him with his supporters. But even a little common sense should tell anyone that it's not possible to actualize campaign promises instantly with a flick of a switch, especially before the president-elect takes the office. It's also important to realize that no president operates in isolation, he has to make those decisions and bring about changes within the balances of power, he has to pick his battles in this context, and make some of those changes in incremental steps which take time.

Wait, umm, you mean you actually believed the promises he made when he said that...
...Hillary would be in Jail
...he would build a wall paid by Mexico
...he would deport 11 million illegals
...he would get rid of Obamacare and replace it with something terrific
...Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security would be saved without cutting benefits.
...he would never take a vacation
...he'd bring back waterboarding
and some others but you get the idea. Very little of what he said is actually achievable in today's USA but he has 4 years so we will see how far he gets.
