      The case that the Comey letter—or the media's handling of the letter—cost Clinton the election is painfully obvious. http://53eig.ht/2mOj8RU

      4. Might be good to address up the venerable "who is to blame?" question. My answer: all are sinners, all must atone.

      5. @drvox cogently argues closeness of election (70,000 votes in 3 states) meant many different factors could plausible have been decisive

          The very nature of the media's crusade against Clinton and in favor of their false balance worship means I actually doubt Hillary-blame

          If EMAILGHAZI didn't exist, the press would invent one. Otherwise they'd have to admit that the Two Sides Aren't the Same
