    Because it takes a college degree to work in the media.

    What exactly should they have done? Given credence to flatout lies and BS just because that is what people wanted to hear?

        Some in the media took a canary into the central PA coal mine. Their warnings were disregarded.

          Anyone notice how Clinton can't get the form of government correct? It is a Constitutional Republic, NOT a democracy.

            That sounds exactly like The New York Times! "DJT is such a danger that we will drop all pretense of objectivity and work actively to defeat him, even if it means slanting news stories accordingly." [paraphrase, they said pretty much that though].

            DJT is a flawed human being with both unique talents and skills, and also some distasteful habits. Only half of that person was described by the mainstream media.

            Seriously, he was called a "misogynist" yet all he did was call women names (the same way he treats men), and exaggerate stories of his supposed sexual prowess in order to show off and brag. That got all the headlines; yet in practice he also hired and promoted competent women (ignored by the mainstream, noticed though by Ivanka's many fans; who voted for DJT anyway not because they wanted him but because they admired her).

            He said he would protect the LGBTQ community from terrorists, yet the mainstream media described him as "homophobic" without any evidence at all; yet because it so easily fit the narrative "Trump is a monster" it was willingly accepted anyway.

            There was plenty of lies and plenty of BS from both sides to go around.

              Did any pollster predict Trump winning?

                  LA Times still got it wrong since it was a national poll, and Clinton won the national vote.

                    Touche. However, you should change "national" to "popular" for accuracy.

                      Not exactly what you're looking for, I suppose, but figured I'd pass along. Also, sorry for the link not linking, mobile copy/pasting difficulties apparently.

                        Come off the democracy crap. This is a Constitutional Republic. If you want a democracy, ex-patriate and find a democracy so you can be happy. Just don't come running back when you find yourself with the wrong mob.

                          Nate Silver at 538 kept saying that Trump has a higher chance of winning than most people realized; his model gave Trump about a 30% chance. He also said that Trump had a better chance of winning the election than the Cubs had of coming back from a 3-1 deficit to win the World Series.

                            Not a poll, but an AI predicted Trump.

                              I can't help but wonder if Nate's models were actually pointing even closer to a Trump victory but the team let their cognitive bias shift the models, "No way this can be right, we need to compensate for this."

                              I know they take into account demographics and predicted turnout and whatnot.

                                I don't think so, if only because he issued a mea culpa after the primaries for essentially doing that. He wasn't going to get burned twice in the same cycle for the same thing.
