I particularly love think pieces like this
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/14/labour-meltdown-decades-govern-votes
The ones where they dissect everything that's been wrong with the labour party for decades.
Where was this analysis before the election? If they were being honest and balanced, as they should be as a privileged media organisation, they would have published shit like this before the election.
Instead, shit like the guardian sees itself as the PR arm of the left and political discourse as a whole suffers.
The Murdoch press is the same and that's why people are disillusioned with politics these days. Too many echo chambers and not enough actual analysis of the issues and policies.
It was the same with Trump and 2016 or Brexit in general:
"Hillary Clinton has an amazing ground game, Trump can never win, he has no ground game lmao"
Think pieces after T-Day:
"Why the Democrats neglected their ground game and it cost them the election"
Which is why polls 'don't matter', the interpretation and reporting on those polls matters and whatever way you slice it every outlet was drooling at the fact the gap was getting smaller and Corbyn was within striking distance of forcing a hung parliament.
Election day happens and the only thing that kept them from cratering below 200 seats was the Brexit party splitting the conservative vote in a few key leave seats.
In the Netherlands the headline was: "SHOCK ELECTION VICTORY FOR BORIS JOHNSON AND THE CONSERVATIVES" because the public broadcaster had bet heavily on remain.
I think the news media and celebrities need to realize picking a side works against their favorite candidate not in favor.
Because it just amplifies the urban legend that the MSM, liberals/left, hollywood and academia are colluding.
Despite being called a Russian plant for 3 years Donald still manages to fill up stadiums and implement a lot of his agenda.
Cue the surprised faces of the MSM when he wrecks Uncle Joe or the socialist next November after they fail to impeach him.
Everyone knows Murdoch's rags are rubbish as far as insight and analysis is concerned they just pick them up for the page 3 titties, sex scandals, TV and sports schedules.
