MSM took the approach of report it this way, with hope it becomes truth.

I took photos of CNN's screens saying Ohio was too close to call, while other stations were expressing disbelief Trump took Ohio. I never wanted to believe CNN leaned hard to the left (as every pundit screamed), but this was the story that has me believing it. MSNBC and CNBC, there was no question, just as Fox was the other extreme. (I gave up on network news in the Clinton and Bush eras). We have a station on cable, One America, that has managed (so far) to remove the bias. But, I can see why bias sells, the news is boring without it. So, besides watching One America, I will visit both extremes.

Proving my point again, you are happy with a wild guess and hoping its right, rather than finding out the details to know its right. Nice try, I have been wrong about many things in my life, but the two you reference are certainly not on that list.

Wasn't a guess .Not even close.You on the other hand want to hear what Trump was going to li.... ahhh say and then back it all the way,it's what trumpettes do"backtrack".

Yup, it was a guess, you had no details, nobody did.

Similarly, you for instance are calling me a "Trumpette" meanwhile I still have my status set to the fact that I was supporting Gary Johnson, not Trump. I simply do my best to look at available facts, and when you made your claim there were none, hence it was just a guess on your part.

The poor guy today would be forced to do a podcast and would be branded as a source of " fake news". Joseph Goebbels would thrive as a spokesman for either party or the federal government. And Walter Cronkite was hideously over rated as a journalist.
