US Election Series: Mainstream media bias against Donald Trump is astounding even after he won

Instead of reflecting on what or how they got the mood of the country wrong after Donald Trump’s terrific victory over Hillary Clinton, the mainstream media continues to pound on him and not only him, but half the country supported him. Anyone can just go to YouTube and see the reactions of the people, who continue to argue why they should not be called bias and so, in the mainstream media when Donald Trump secured his victory. Almost all of them were sitting with grim faces, some with a look of hopelessness with hands on their forehead, and some were even heard uttering “Oh my God” or “Jesus” on air.

At the very end of the campaign, after Mr. Trump rejected to say whether he would accept the result of the election or not, the exact same media people were reporting that he and his vandals might terrorize the country. That is exactly what happening but it is the Democratic or Hillary supporters, who are vandalizing the country. And the media continues to report them and call them the sad, devastated and poor Americans, many of whom are professionals and illegals in the country. The point is no one reported during the campaign that Hillary supporters/Trump opposers would or can do the same, what they were saying about Mr. Trump. They are so entrenched in their bias, they are just ignoring another half of the country that supported Donald Trump to the Presidency.

Another classic example of media bias got revealed is when Donald Trump decided a private dinner with his family members and not inform the press about it. The whole mainstream media got fired up. NBC news tweeted “Trump leaves press behind for steak dinner, showing lack of transparency”. CNN even said that not informing press is a national security threat as if the media is protecting him, not the secret service. MSNBC reported that Mr. Trump went on his own as if the dozen secret service vehicles were not there. There are no constitutional obligations for a PrePresident-elect inform the press before going to a private dinner with family. The press in America has really hit their lowest ever.
