It has been many years since the media reported the news. Back maybe 30 years ago, newspapers reported news and had an editorial page where they reported opinion. Television news had the news and then a commentary at the end for their opinion.

Then they started placing their opinion in the news stories and putting their twist and opinion on almost everything they reported. The readership and the ratings on most newspapers and TV news shows started to drop and have continued to drop every year. They tried to blame the internet, the education of the public and everything else except taking a good look at their smug biased reporting.

I would like to think that the recent failure of their just not even getting it close would be a wakeup call for them and that they would take steps to separate news and opinion back to the way true reporting should be done. But somehow I think they will just find something else to blame for their failure. As BHO said in his first days in office, "elections have consequences" and we will soon see if the media goes on the defence or makes some fundamental much needed changes and goes back to actual reporting.
