As Twitchy told you, in her interview with Christiane Amanpour today, Hillary Clinton couldn’t pass the buck fast enough when it came to her embarrassing loss last November.

Mea Culpa-not so much: Hillary says she was 'on the way to winning' but combination of Comey letter, Russia 'scared off' voters.

As it turns out, Hillary’s not the only one in denial about what happened. Former Obama speechwriter — and Hillary cutout groper — Jon Favreau thinks Hillary did a pretty good job accepting responsibility, but the media still have a long way to go:
Reams of evidence that Comey cost Hillary some votes, but she's not allowed to acknowledge that even if she admits fault?
— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) May 2, 2017
I've been critical of HRC's mistakes but I can't understand this obsession from reporters who still refuse to admit any fault of their own.
— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) May 2, 2017
Let it go, guys. It's ok to say "Yeah, we made a few mistakes too." I promise. We all have.
— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) May 2, 2017
Legitimate non-trolling question: how were reporters supposed to report on the Comey letter as anything other than a bombshell?

No choice but to cover it. But "bombshell" could've waited until we knew what was on the laptop? And the entire front page of the NYT?
— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) May 2, 2017
Also, the media speculation in the days before Comey reversed himself was wildly irresponsible and rampant

Not to be outdone, Hillary superfan Peter Daou got in on the whine-fest — and he didn’t hold back:
THEY. JUST. CAN'T. STOP.

Here's @GlennThrush selectively omitting that Hillary took responsibility for mistakes. And he doesn't dispute her FACTUAL assessment. https://t.co/syaE8r1QYR

Actually, Peter, she took selective responsibility. Which details of her mistakes did she talk about vs. Comey/Wiki? https://t.co/PwbwbhxyXd

Are you policing her responsibility-taking? Was it not enough for you? https://t.co/ZX9HgONEHe

DEAR MEDIA PURPOSELY NOT LISTENING:
Trump was under FBI investigation on Nov. 8, but the public thought Hillary was. HOW WAS THAT FAIR?— Peter Daou (@peterdaou) May 2, 2017
Respectfully @DavidChalian: It's not that Hillary 'wants' to have a voice. She HAS a voice as one of the most accomplished women in history.
— Peter Daou (@peterdaou) May 2, 2017
Hillary's aides were far too deferential to the national press. Trump treated the media like scum and they took it out on HER. And still do.
— Peter Daou (@peterdaou) May 2, 2017
What @HillaryClinton didn't say: She missed the mood of the country. Email server and paid speeches were big deal. All but ignored rural USA
— Jeff Zeleny (@jeffzeleny) May 2, 2017
Weak analysis, with all due respect. She won by 2% DESPITE foreign intervention and Trump's FBI investigation hidden https://t.co/PwImTRdDMj
— Peter Daou (@peterdaou) May 2, 2017
SIMPLY PUT: If you have a shred of doubt how America got here, look no further than the loathing for Hillary on ugly display today.

The intellectual dishonesty, delusion or sexism required to deny that Hillary faced EXTRAORDINARY & UNPRECEDENTED obstacles is jaw-dropping.

If nothing else, at least Hillary can always count on Peter to have her back. And help maintain her delusions.

It really is kind of adorable, in an utterly pathetic sort of way, just how far Hillary’s die-hard supporters will go to defend her.
https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/859477094065205249
Hillary can take responsibility for her loss.
She can also note that she would have won if not for Comey/Russia.
not mutually exclusive

The visceral and obvious loathing that our media held for 1st woman ever nominated speaks to deeply rooted cultural bias. They despise her. https://t.co/AjspVIBiA9
— Tom Watson (@tomwatson) May 2, 2017
The fact that they’re lashing out at the mainstream media demonstrates just how desperate they are to protect their queen.
what's absurd is suggestion that it's media's "fault" a candidate lost. How was the Comey letter not a major story?
— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) May 2, 2017
Is there an estimate on how long we'll be discussing "why Hillary lost"?
I'd like to skip to the part where we get to, "b/c she was awful".
— Drew McCoy (@_Drew_McCoy_) May 2, 2017
Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. Ever. So you might as well find a way to enjoy what we’re stuck with.
I don't want Defeated Hillary™ Twitter to ever end.
