The media scandal of 2016 isn’t so much about what reporters failed to tell the American public; it’s about what they did report on, and the fact that it didn’t seem to matter.

Talk about smug, insular, narrow-minded, and invariably convinced of her own rightness. Sheesh.

What the reporter does not recognize, or at least, fails to note, is that we have returned to partisan journalism. It was what journalism consisted of for the first half of our existence.

In partisan journalism, the media openly have a point of view, and you know it. That is where we are today. It is juts that the establishment media do not want to admit that their view is partisan, even though it has become obvious.

It is easy to understand why. When the establishment media claim “objectivity” they could use their voice to shape the narrative for the entire nation. They had enormous power, more than the politicians. The establishment media no longer have that ability.

An era of partisan media is much healthier.
