Dave,
All I am hearing is a lot of whining about how your candidate didn't win because of those mean Russians, those ignorant rednecks, and those crazy kids in Macedonia, and that the traditional press, despite what was clearly cheerleading for the Iraq War during its runup and cheerleading for Hillary in the months before the election, doesn't bear any responsibility for any of it and should maintain its privileged position in the national discourse, by government (or corporate) fiat if need be.
I'm not sure that's a tenable position.
