Journalists Celebrated Obama’s 2008 Victory, Mourned Trump’s 2016 Win
For supposedly non-partisan reporters of the news, journalists sure reacted differently to President Obama’s election in 2008 and Trump’s election in 2016.
Obama’s election was a “leap towards something better and uniting our country as never before in our history,” according to MSNBC’s resident Obama-super fan Chris Mathews, on the Sunday before election day eight years ago. But early Wednesday…
Comedian on Colbert Show: ‘Get Your Abortions Now,’ We’re F*cked'
Comedians act out when elections don’t go their way – and the results are anything but funny. As the election results came in Tuesday night, comedian Stephen Colbert hosted a live election special. During his show, he invited stand-up comedian Jena Friedman on as a guest. But Friedman wasn't funny – from joking about babies born dead to comparing the election to abortion.
The Root Election Freak-Out: 'You Will Be Under Attack Everywhere'
Trump won. Liberal heads are exploding. And few have made a bigger, more hysterical and downright nonsensical bang than the noggin of Lawrence Ross at lefty black website The Root. “These are dangerous times.” Lawrence hyperventilated. America’s choice of “a racist, xenophobic, and misogynist man” was the fault of “white people.” You see, “Their love of white supremacy trumped their desire for a…
MSNBC’s O’Donnell: U.S. Is Now ‘Crying,' 'Filled with Fear' of Trump
Before signing off early Wednesday morning after almost 12 hours on the air, MSNBC’s so-called “A-Team” provided some predictably entertaining final thoughts as breaking news anchor Brian Williams reminded his liberal colleagues that their employer played a huge role in making Donald Trump the president-elect while Lawrence O’Donnell fretted that it’s “a mourning moment” filled with fear for much…
Jonathan Alter Sneers: ‘Decency Lost Last Night’
The liberal sulking over Donald Trump’s win on election night continued on MSNBC, Wednesday. The former editor of Newsweek huffed, “This is so, so dispiriting. I think decency lost last night. And that's what's so hurtful about this. Not just that Hillary Clinton lost, but our image of who we are as a people, that we're tolerant, decent people suffered a real setback.”
Bozell on TV: Liberal Media Are 'Second-Biggest Losers' of Election
Appearing on Fox Business Network’s Varney & Co., MRC founder and president Brent Bozell said the liberal media were the second-biggest losers on election night: “They were crushed. They were the second-biggest losers. But the difference between them and Hillary Clinton is that their loss continues. She is finished, but they still stay in the game. They have a public that simply repudiated…
‘Mainstream Media Is a Loser’ After Election, Says CNBC’s Joe Kernen

Andrea Mitchell in Mourning: ‘History Put On Hold Yet Again’
On Wednesday’s NBC Today, a distraught Andrea Mitchell was still struggling to come to terms with Hillary Clinton losing the presidential race and sorrowfully lamented: “...late yesterday, her team was still optimistic that they would prevail. Instead they're now planning a concession speech shortly this morning as history put on hold yet again.”
Bozell on the Results: This Was A Massive Repudiation of the Press
The pundits got it all wrong. They believed the media and their spin, not just on the coronation of Hillary Clinton, but more important, on America’s repudiation of Donald Trump.
They saw Trump’s voters just as the Clinton campaign saw them: a basket of deplorables. All season long the pro-Hillary press treated Trump’s followers with utter contempt. At the same time the leftwing media were…
Van Jones: Trump Won Due to 'White-Lash' to Obama, 'Changing Country'
Former Obama administration "green jobs czar" Van Jones gave a very blunt, racially-tinged reaction to the impending victory of Donald Trump during CNN's Election Night coverage: "It's hard to be a parent, tonight, for a lot of us. You tell your kids, don't be a bully. You tell your kids, don't be a bigot....And then, you have this outcome....how do I explain this to my children?" Jones later…

Gayle King Baffled at Being Told Hillary Was a Bad Candidate
After Donald Trump’s major upset victory in the presidential race, on Wednesday’s CBS This Morning, co-host Gayle King was perplexed by political analyst Frank Luntz explaining that Hillary Clinton “was actually not a good candidate.” She replied: “Did we hear that she was not a good candidate before last night?”
NYT’s Krugman Melts Down Over Trump: GOP 'in Thrall to the Crazies'
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is not taking Donald Trump’s victory well, judging by the meltdown on his Twitter feed and an aggrieved editorial he posted as Hillary’s electoral fortunes took a turn for the worst: "America, we hardly knew ye...I have warned that we could become a failed state...deep hatred in a large segment of the population."
