      4. I had read articles making plausible arguments about Clinton's weaknesses as a candidate like this from @karpmjhttps://www.jacobinmag.com/2016/02/karp-bernie-sanders-electability-clinton-republicans-trump-election/ …

      6. I had tended to discount such articles because, based on 2008/2012, I assumed Dems would run super competent campaign (GOTV etc).

      7. In Dem primaries I preferred Sanders for political reasons but thought (wrongly) that Clinton had better shot at winning presidency

      8. Connected: I had doubts about Clinton's strategy of pursuing moderate Republican voters, which I voiced but should have foregrounded

      9. @ggreenwald is right on journalistic responsibility here but the proviso is 2016 presented a special challenge:https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/856166415405076481 …

      Of course. Journalism can definitely influence elections. Its goal should be to disclose relevant information about the candidates.

      10. American journalism has framework for evaluating 2 party races where both candidates roughly equivalent in qualities. 2016 not like that

      11. Clinton was flawed but no more than Romney or Obama or McCain. Trump was off-the-charts terrible (corruption, racism, misogyny etc).

      12. To extend media covered Trump's terribleness, they felt they needed to "balance" it with critique of Clinton. Hence overplay of emails.

      13. Just as media can't deal with asymmetric polarization in policy, so it can't handle asymmetric awfulness of one candidate.

      14. One thing that is still under-appreciated is how good Trump/Bannon were at gaming mainstream media, particularly NY Times.

          15. Bannon knew to win he needed not just Breitbart for the faithful but to plant anti-Clinton stories in NY Times (to reach moderate GOP)

          How did Hillary end up with worse "trustworthy" numbers than Trump who objectively lied his ass off most of campaign. Media is powerless

          No, media is powerful. They gave HRC extremely negative coverage and we see the results.

          NYT has been printing irresponsible headlines with half truths and lies for some time now, influencing the election for Trump.

          @MSignorile Forget the NYT, they were good at gaming all of us. The NYTimes just reflected that.
