I love your point about the media's role in all of this because I was literally saying the same thing to my wife the other night as the votes were rolling in and it was beginning to look dire for Hillary. Even after the tally was in and it was all but certain that Trump would win, NBC was playing clips of Trump's gaffes over and over again, almost continuous loop, as if people hadn't heard them the first thousand times. Their coverage of the election was basically a continuous op-ed in the guise of news reporting (not just NBC, pretty much all of the media, even alternative sources). They've turned their entire industry into the mockery that is the Fox News model, in spite of their anointed one, Jon Stewart, so resoundingly showing the absurdity of that kind of reporting with his comedy. We shall see, but I imagine we'll have some new faces of integrity that will begin to materialize in the media in the coming years. Nobody takes the old guard seriously anymore, obviously.
