Top 5 Reasons Trump’s Victory Should Be No Surprise

4. The Mainstream Media has lost its reputation

The major news organizations have denied “being in the tank” for Hillary Clinton, but that defense was blown out of the water by Wikileaks. We learned that CNN was leaking questions to be asked of Clinton, and soliciting Clinton’s campaign for tough questions to trip up Trump. We learned that reporters were submitting their stories to Clinton’s communications director for review. We learned that reporters were actively discrediting Clinton’s opposition.

Meanwhile, voters were consulting online media, which has swelled with new readers and new viewership during this election cycle. Alex Jones’ InfoWars, for better or worse, claims to have more viewers than CNN. With almost 1.8 million subscribers to his YouTube channel, this is not a hollow boast. Mark Dice has nearly 650,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel.  The pro-Trump online media is a force, while the mainstream media, its hubris intact, dismisses the phenomenon along with its own lack of objectivity.
