RSSPodesta: Hillary Clinton Lost the 2016 Presidential Election Because the Media Gave Donald Trump ‘a Pass’
DENIAL IS NOT JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT … THE BLAME GAME BEGINS.
As reported at The Washington Times, Team Hillary blames their loss election night to Donald Trump because of FBI Director James Comey and a media “pass” for Trump translated into an electoral landslide for the billionaire. This is what happens when one cannot take blame for their own actions, doing, scandals and bad candidacy. Let’s get real folks, who honestly thinks the MSM gave Trump a pass? We know, from the WikiLeaks emails, that the media was in the tank for Hillary Clinton both during the Democrat primary against Bernie Sanders and in the general election. Blame the media? Seriously, talk about killing the messenger and the Democrats greatest propaganda weapon. The MSM savaged Donald Trump at every turn.
Let’s face it, Hillary had the Democrat party on her side, the MSM and even establishment Republicans. How could she lose? What she did not have was the truth of the matter that Americans felt discontent over the past 8 years under Obama. They wanted change. Change they not only could believe in, but could benefit from.
Hillary Clinton’s inner circle gathered for an autopsy of her failed presidential campaign and concluded that media bias in favor of Donald Trump contributed to his historic win.
A political postmortem of the Democratic Party’s Election Day results has concluded that FBI Director James Comey and a media “pass” for Mr. Trump translated into an electoral landslide for the billionaire.
A private conference call Thursday with Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, communications director Jennifer Palmieri and other aides addressed what Ms. Palmieri called “the most devastating loss in the history of American politics,” The Hill reported Thursday.
The group’s conclusions differ from assessments of Mrs. Clinton from previously released WikiLeaks documents belonging to Mr. Podesta.
“The media always covered [Mrs. Clinton] as the person who would be president and therefore tried to eviscerate her before the election, but covered Trump who was someone who was entertaining and sort of gave him a pass,” Mr. Podesta said. “We need to reflect and analyze that and put our voices forward.”
The Hill: Team Clinton in complete meltdown of election results. At some point the Democrats just have to look at this and say, we had a bad and poorly flawed candidate. Even with that, according to most all polls she was supposed to win.
Polls between Clinton and Republican Donald Trump had already tightened with the Comey news broke, and the race appeared to get closer over the next week.
On Nov. 6, Comey said the FBI had not found any information in the new emails that would change its original decision that Clinton should not be charged.
Aides also blamed the media for the loss.
“The media always covered her as the person who would be president and therefore tried to eviscerate her before the election, but covered Trump who was someone who was entertaining and sort of gave him a pass,” Podesta said. “We need to reflect and analyze that and put our voices forward.”
Trump during the campaign frequently criticized the media for being too hard on him.
Podesta, whose hacked emails were released by WikiLeaks over the campaign’s final stretch, said top Clinton aides will argue that the press created a “false moral equivalency” in its coverage of Clinton and Trump.
The campaign chairman blamed the press for “the dominance of the way they covered the email” controversy, saying it overlooked “the conflicts of Trump’s businesses, the Russian contacts we are now learning to be true, the failure of the press following the 3-page leak to the New York Times to really dig into the income tax question.”

Podesta needs to put a lid on it. You backed the wrong candidate and you ran a dirty campaign.
The notables of the deplorables gave Donald Trump his passage to the Oval Office. Trumps freight train express swept the country. Hillary’s caboose derailed.
Thanks Mr. Podesta! I needed a good laugh to brighten my day!
