Although the article did state that the Democrats are starting to analyze the data in an effort to correct their erroneous predictions, they are still in denial about the media bias. The article reasoned that the public doesn't trust the media because "they haven't gotten it right all the time", when in reality they are untrustworthy for their blatant bias. And they still haven't learned their lesson. In fact, it has gotten worse since Trump won the election. FoxNews has been doing a good job of showing clips of the mainstream media asking softball questions to Obama, then cutting to clips of the questions being asked to Trump. Even worse is their fawning analysis of the decisions and intentions of Obama/Admin, then compared to their hypocritical analysis of Trump/Admin on the same subjects. I guess when you live in an elitist bubble, it's hard to see your own bias.

An example of that media bias, in a very subtle form, is when they described Trump as a, "reality star turned politician".  That's like identifying Brett Farve as an obscure actor that does commercials.  Trump should be identified as an extremely successful businessman, not a reality star, which is something he did as a lark.

Still, just this little concession is, as stevenash titled the thread, a Shocker.
