The “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were all live at 6:30 p.m. Eastern leading into their Election Night coverage and predictably, they were already giddy at scenes of Hillary supporters crying and the Clinton campaign’s election night event featuring a glass ceiling.

Before polls closed on Election Day, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews had already vomited a bewildering story. Talking about how candidates spend the early part of elections nights, Matthews related, “Jack Kennedy did this. Ben Bradlee, his buddy, they went up to see a porn movie.” 

CNN's Alisyn Camerota one-upped her Big Three network peers on Tuesday's New Day by pressing Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine over running mate Hillary Clinton's not having a "message of unity" during their campaign. Camerota played a clip of Mrs. Clinton claiming she will "be a president for all Americans" and wondered, "Why hasn't Hillary Clinton been hitting that message harder…

The liberal news media have been rabidly anti-Trump throughout the campaign. But that bias intensified as polling time neared. The day before the U.S. election, Vanity Fair contributing editor Kurt Eichenwald launched a Twitterstorm of “top 129 findings from my investigation of Trump.” All but one of those tweets were negative toward the Republican presidential nominee and cited all manner of…

Superheroes in comic books usually use their time, powers and weapons righting wrongs, helping people in trouble and defeating supervillains who often want to conquer the planet. However, that's not the case with Ms. Marvel -- whose secret identity is Kamala Khan, a Muslim-American teenager -- in the next issue of her title from Marvel Comics, when the polymorph who can change her shape and…

The lead story in the New York Times Election Day, “At Election’s End, A Sunny Tone Meets Dark” was penned by reporter Michael Barbaro, last seen composing a loving vignette of a joyous Hillary Clinton dancing in the rain. Meanwhile, Matt Flegenheimer suggested Sarah Palin and the Tea Party were to blame for the campaign’s dark tone, and even blamed conservative critics of the news media…

Eleanor Clift at the Daily Beast posted an early draft of the liberal/feminist euphoria over the first female president before the results came in, noting that "unfortunate baggage" is a small part of "the arc of history that brought us to this point, the hazing that Hillary Rodham Clinton survived with such stamina and grace to stand on the precipice of victory."

Hello to all. I appreciate being given the awesome task of handling tonight's NewsBusters 2016 general election thread. We'll go live somewhere around 5:30-6 p.m. ET and hang in there as long as we need to (hopefully not as long as 2000, for those of you who remember staying up til 6 a.m. the next morning and STILL not knowing who won -- and we wouldn't know for another 5 weeks or so.)

To cap off his coverage of the 2016 presidential election cycle, Univision and Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos hosted a documentary, titled “Hate Rising”, designed to hammer home the central narrative of his election coverage: that Donald Trump represents a racist, hate-driven threat of virtually Hitlerian proportions to the Latino and immigrant population of the United States.

Hillary Clinton is the pro-life candidate this election, according to one Huffington Post blogger.

Although many on the left wanted climate change to have a higher profile in the 2016 presidential race, one Washington Post editor claimed the heated campaign “could change the climate debate for the better.” Washington Post Digital Opinions Editor James Downie repeated a series of climate alarmist claims and complained Hillary Clinton’s stated climate policy isn’t sufficient. But he found a…

Commiserating with left-wing Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren on Monday, daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres complained that Hillary Clinton was the victim of an “unprecedented” FBI investigation while being “this close” to the election.

On Tuesday, the broadcast networks lead off their Election Day coverage by gushing over Hillary Clinton casting her ballot in Chappaqua, New York. The 8:00 a.m. ET breaking news coverage on the CBS, ABC, and NBC morning shows celebrated the “momentous moment” in which the Democratic nominee would find out if her “dream” of being president “comes true.”

It isn’t just conservatives complaining about the news media this election cycle. Hoping to interview a millennial voter of Puerto Rican descent, MSNBC reporter Kerry Sanders found a Jill Stein supporter who didn’t think her candidate was being covered fairly. When Sanders pointed out to the young woman that her candidate probably wouldn’t win, she responded “Well, according to all of the, you…
