I was rewatching the 2016 election coverage and noticed something about the main-stream old school big media (like CNN, CBS, etc).

In the latter half of the coverage the tone just shifted dramatically. They actually told the truth as to what had happened. Also, they collectively all acted like they felt bad about getting it wrong. Remember the days afterwards, where they all had this apology narrative and kept saying "where did we get it wrong?"

I think it is because much of this old school MSM is not actually liberal/left wing/SJW.

You see, they are actually just total dick sucking whores. They will go to whoever panders to them and wherever power is, regardless of ideology. At that moment in the latter half of the election and for days afterwards, they realized power had shifted and they were now up for grabs. They were waiting to be bought.

But Trump and his camp would not pander to these whores, and as a result they - by default - went quickly back into the tank for the Democrats. Ultimately, this was and is a good thing. They have latched on to the Democrats so very deeply now and it will be their ultimate doom.

Note, this observation doesn't apply to the newer millennial media. They are truly pure SJW whacko snowflakes and are deeply ideological.
