It really is a revealing complaint. The tacit assumption here is that their preferred candidate (Hillary in this case) is entitled to control of the media-landscape, the news-cycle. Anything that derails that control ('the emails', also Russia's 'meddling') is inherently invalid.

The Lesson Learned being formed among Smart People is that they need to hard-wire better, more reliable Controls into the media landscape for next time, to ensure media can't be (in their POV) 'hijacked' for messaging they dislike/don't approve of. i.e., more censorship.
