The REAL media (unlike fake Fox and its friends) aren't a cheering section. They will report facts. That said, the judgment of some editors has me shaking my head sometimes at the miniscule things that seem to be allowed for news stories. Still, real news is not a cheering section. Don't blame the media for the election. Blame the RW propaganda of Fox and things like Elon's lottery, which was a gimmick to buy votes. The media didn't cast (or not cast) the votes. It was a vastly uninformed public that did that.

Right now the real media needs our support more than ever. We need to buck against the propaganda of Fox and friends. That means everyone.
