2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMy nephew turned on CNN this morning, I can't help but overhearing...
...and it really doesn't sound so bad. I had the same feeling when I caught some of CNN in the morning in the airport on the way to visit my sister.
Yes, they're still trying to play up the horse race and uncertainty angles, but I haven't heard anything I'd call pro-Trump. They just had Sam Wang on talking about how he considers the presidential election outcome almost boring, drama-free in the likelihood of a Clinton victory, fairly positive but less certain on Democrats taking control of the Senate.
I was just listening to a Republican spokesperson praising the RNC's general election efforts, but also mentioning how there's practically no Trump ground organization for the presidential campaign, and how an election is usually won by cooperation of those two efforts.
So far I've heard nothing but pro-Clinton political ads during the commercial breaks.
Yes, I'm sure if I kept watching I'd run into infuriating interviews where Kellyanne Conway and the like get away with spouting bullshit almost completely unchallenged.
But CNN is not as frustrating so far as many other people have found it. No mention of email. They're now talking about voter intimidation as I finish this post.

(19,264 posts)Honestly I am starting to hate seeing surrogates from either side. I mean is a Clinton supporter going to do anything but say stuff that puts Clinton in the best light. The same thing for a Trump supporter. So essentially regardless of which side it is completely useless airtime. The only parts tolerable is when it is journalists being journalists which is usually less than 30% of airtime.

They can go to hell as far as I am concerned for their complicity in this whole sordid affair
