Cenk Uygur: Hillary Clinton lost the election because she didnt come on our show

Why the Mainstream Media Missed the Story of the Election
Cenk Uygur
Mediaite

Now, let me tell you something you will find shocking and is almost certainly true — Hillary Clinton lost the election because she didn’t come on our show. If you’re in the mainstream media, you will probably find that comment laughable and utterly preposterous. That’s because you have the habits of a 65 year old. You watch cable news – the median viewer of CNN is 61 years old, MSNBC is 63 years old and Fox News is 68 years old. The median age of a Bill O’Reilly viewer is 72 years old. He is doing a show out of a senior citizens center and everyone in the NY/DC media thinks his every utterance is paramount and must be dissected for how it will affect the American populace.

With TYT Network 80 million monthly viewers if Hillary Clinton reached out to them, you’re telling me she couldn’t have swung 39,000 votes?!

Remember, the election was decided by 78,000 votes in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. A 39,000 vote swing and she wins. To be fair, almost everything cost her the election. Was it the fake news or Russia or Comey or us? The answer is yes, it was all of them. Mainly, it was the completely out of touch campaign she ran, but up against the most unpopular candidate in US history, all she needed to do was win over a couple of extra votes. But she wouldn’t do it.


OK, even I have hard time with this one. But as long as we're plugging things, I think Hillary Clinton lost because she only did one episode of Broad City and not two.

I still recall reading about how he said Sanders won Super Tuesday and was on his way to winning the nomination. I knew then that he was smokin' something potent.

It's why she lost - they fucking hated her from the get go - even Democracy Now is disgustingly biased. Glenn Greenwald goes back and forth from DN to FOX to spew his hateful shit and spread conspiracy theories.

She never had a chance with all the hate coming from the right, the left, the center, the Russians, the FBI, fake news, fake memes and progressives who spread the hate around to their friends like wildfire.

I'm disgusted with uber-lefty media, they are as hateful as FOX

What is it these guys do again? Read other people's stories and may sarcastic comments about them?
