Writing at Politico, Matt Latimer argues the media's open anti-GOP bias and disinterest in correcting same is responsible in large measure for electing Donald Trump president. I wouldn't be surprised if Latimer is correct, at least in part.
What makes this story odd is the Politico organization is one of the most blatant examples we have of liberal media bias. Like the NYTimes, they have an occasional conservative voice fulfilling much the same Washington Generals-like token opponent role that Juan Williams occupies at Fox News.
Does running this article mean Politico plans to turn over a new leaf? I seriously doubt it, they are an advocacy group false flagged as a news + analysis shop.
Most national media voices are effectively Democrat operatives with bylines. Thus it's no wonder half or more of our population considers them propagandists beneath contempt and rightly ignored.
Ironically, the media would serve their own ideological (and financial) ends better by being balanced and therefore a widely trusted source of fact and ideas. In their current agitprop mode, any accurate criticisms the media make of the right gain no traction as they currently preach only to a choir of the likeminded.
Those PJ Media blogger Kurt Schlichter calls "real Americans" aren't listening, they're over at Fox News seeing mirror image coverage where all liberals are crap.
