We KNEW it! One young journo spills the beans about Obama's media lapdogs

Non-adversarial journalism is called propaganda. https://t.co/OYt0z9RW8t

Donald Trump’s victory has been a wake-up call to many members of the media. How did Hillary Clinton manage to lose to Donald Trump despite everything they told us about Donald Trump? What did they do wrong?

Well, one thing’s for sure: They’re not gonna let something like this happen again. As Mic staff writer Sarah Harvard assures us, things are gonna change:

I was scared at first, but now I'm amped. The next 4 years will produce some of the best adversarial journalism we've seen since 8 years ago

Oh?

: What were you doing for the last 8 years?

Great question.

well, i began high school

OK, fine. So that’s her excuse.

read her replies people – she's 23 years old. It's true that journalism took 8 years off, but this isn't one of the culprits

What about all the other journos who are suddenly realizing what actual journalism entails? What’s their excuse?

well at least you're clear the press were/are advocates for Obama

This has nothing to do with you. Your tweet clearly explains that journalists werent doing their jobs the past 8 years.

Thanks for admitting the U.S. Media was Obama and DNC's lapdog for 8 years.

Why wasnt there adversarial journalism the past 8 years? I hope you understand what you are implying.

that 8 year vacation is part of the reason you now have a reason to be a journalist again. Well done.

— Andrews Dad (@Andrew_Dad) November 11, 2016

So you are admitting that "adversarial journalism" went bye-bye for 8 years. Why should anyone listen to you now?

Hahaha. The irony. It burns. From lap dogs to watch dogs. Make sure the DNC says its OK.

That 8 year break journalism took is part of why Trump won. Speak truth to power no matter which party is in power.

In other words, do your jobs, media.
