As perceived by the media... the same media who wanted the other candidate to be elected.
- chrisrhoden 10y agoI'll assume you downvoted me because you think that the article is wrong and not because you think I am wrong in my assessment of what the article is saying. I don't disagree that the media at large would have preferred the other candidate. That would be true if the media was a perfect statistical representation of the country, and the media is not, it's largely focused in population centers, where the preference was overwhelming.
- akjainaj 10y agoI can't even downvote.
- ajmurmann 10y agoWell functioning media are also an important factor for a democracy. Apparently many people doubt the US has that. No matter how you look at it something important is broken. The difference in perception is what's the broken part.
