#Even after yet another election that shocked them, the media won’t mend their ways

However this election turns out once the vote-counters and the lawyers finish up, it was once again a shock to all the establishment media who confidently predicted a Joe Biden romp that would likely produce a Democratic Senate and add to Nancy Pelosi’s House majority. But does anyone think that yet another shock, following 2016, will lead them to change their ways?

Ha! The next week or three may see another round of 2016-style mea culpas and vows to do better at paying attention to the working-class voters — white, Latino and even black — who supported Trump. But they’ll soon be back to treating Black Lives Matter and AOC as the only authentic voices of blacks and Hispanics.

They’ll take any Biden win as a return to “normalcy” and license to treat the whole Trump era like an aberration to be whitewashed away — and all Trump’s voters as deplorables to be ignored if not reeducated. And they’ll tar any Republican who voices even a hint of Trumpism as a “racist” who’s maybe a bit more polished.

If the president ekes out a victory, they’ll simply go back into attack mode — once again blaring out awful charges based on anonymous, unverifiable sources (none of which will trigger “unreliable” warnings, let alone a block, from Facebook or Twitter).

In short, they’ll drop any introspection at the first controversy or “scandal” to push their progressive buttons. None of them will make any real changes in how they present “the facts that matter,” just because they were badly wrong about yet another election.
