Hillary Clinton got total support in the mainstream media for two years. She still lost the election, because what she was promising was not what the people of America wanted or needed. It didn't help that she demonized the majority of voters as living in "fly-over states" and talked about "old white men" and the "deplorables." With the media support she had, a monkey could have been elected president (example, Obama), but she still managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

There's even solid statistical data showing that her approval ratings slowly climb when she is out of the news. Then, whenever she opened her mouth, her popularity plummeted. Repeatedly.

No. People have become immune to the BS spouted by "the media" nowadays.
The media pushed her harder then anyone ever. I seem to remember an estimate of 41 billion total, in TV time.

Here is what the NYT has come to: total propaganda. It’s like they don’t even care about the truth anymore. NYT is becoming a totally agenda driven paper: All the news that fits the narrative.

And we know who writes the narrative.

Since before Operation Mockingbird, actually.
