This CBS guy gets it.
Pull quotes:
"Journalists love mocking Trump supporters. We insult their appearances. We dismiss them as racists and sexists. We emote on Twitter about how this or that comment or policy makes us feel one way or the other, and yet we reject their feelings as invalid."
...
"That’s the fantasy, the idea that if we mock them enough, call them racist enough, they’ll eventually shut up and get in line."
...
"Our theme now should be humility. We must become more impartial, not less so. We have to abandon our easy culture of tantrums and recrimination. We have to stop writing these know-it-all, 140-character sermons on social media and admit that, as a class, journalists have a shamefully limited understanding of the country we cover."

The only thing I liked and like about this election is the incredible upending of the press and media in this country who were so absolutely sure they could participate in the process as advocates of one side or the other and sincerely expect to influence the minds of people of any color or stripe. Now perhaps these elitists will return to their place in society which is to serve the public, to observe, comment, and report objectively, the goings on around US, and to confine their personal opinions to the oped pages and off the headlines.

post of the day. This must have gotten overlooked in the wake of all the people posting anti trump propaganda.
The DNC did not get it - from the word "go!" they rigged their own primary then brought back a "candidate" from 16 years ago. She was not well liked then and has not gained much in popularity since then. It's estimated that 10 million fewer democrats voted for HRc than PBO. Every battleground state she campaigned in, she lost. The DNC is very out of touch. The RNC is not far behind them and that's why people like Trump.
