Hillary Clinton didn't lose because of the media, and her supporters can't accept it

Washington Examiner  "That Hillary Clinton's White House hopes were stunted at least in part by an unfair news media is a conviction that continues to burn strong with her hardcore believers, even as the rest of us know that, like Santa, the Easter Bu nny, and Chris Cillizza's political insight, it isn't real.

"Complaints about the media as it relates to Clinton resurfaced this week after a New York Times reporter defended his paper's coverage in 2016.

"Critics bombarded New York Times White House Correspondent Glenn Thrush on Monday after he shared a news article on Twitter about the Secret Service running out of money to pay its staff due to President Trump and his immediate family's frequent traveling.

" 'Trump's gilded lifestyle is bankrupting the Secret Service," Thrush tweeted."

"While the nation's former top diplomat was under federal investigation for her "extremely careless" communications practices (that spinning sound is Walsh rolling her eyes), Trump was skating by a distracted media all the way to the finish line.

"Wait, that's not right.

"CNN was actually playing the infamous "pussy" tape on an endless loop, reporters were feverishly looking for his tax returns, and every news article called Trump a bigot.

"Other headlines Trump saw throughout the campaign: "Donald Trump mocks reporter's disability," CBS News (a lie); "In 1927, Donald Trump's father was arrested after a Klan riot in Queens," Washington Post (deceitful); "Donald Trump: Ban all Muslim travel to U.S.," CNN (okay, that one was true and his proposal was popular)."
