Sorry, mainstream media, but the internet doesn’t forget.



Recent social media posts have brought back to light a scathing article from October titled, “There is no possible way Donald Trump’s team actually believes this is their path to 270” printed by The Washington Post — and months later, it’s a great read.

Because critics of the media can point to this article as undeniable proof that the mainstream media is completely biased and unfair.

In it, The Washington Post’s Philip Bump attacked then-campaign manager Kellyanne Conway’s appearance on the short-lived Trump TV, produced by the President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign during the lead up to November.

And Bump was harsh.

[Conway] was arguing that Trump had a viable path to victory, using, in the email, a map that resembles some other race than the one that we’re in. In reality, the race we’re living through shows Trump is at risk of losing Arizona, Texas and Georgia — all states that Romney won.

Trump won all of those states by approximately 20 points.

The only problem is that the foundation of Conway’s argument — that map — is so bafflingly distant from reality that it’s hard to think this isn’t somehow an inside joke.

Conway’s map was 100% correct.

This map comports with the state of the race, according to public polls. I mean, look. Clinton has a 6.2-point lead in Pennsylvania. She’s up 6.5 points in Wisconsin. She’s up 10 in Michigan. She leads in Colorado by 8 and Virginia by 10. Those are margins that put those states easily out of reach.

Trump won Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

But that’s why Conway used the language she did in that Trump TV segment … The numbers don’t show a close race. They show a race that it will be very hard for Trump to win without a massive, collective underestimation of his levels of support.

Whoops!

Then, The Washington Post really hits the nail on the head with their tongue-in-cheek attack on conservative media:

The map Conway sent in the email was the best semi-believable map they could think of, and even then, Trump struggled to reach a tie. But on Trump TV, viewers didn’t get any of this ‘spin.’ They just got the unvarnished truth, straight from the people responsible for getting Trump into striking distance: Trump’s in striking distance. On Nov. 8, I fully expect Trump TV to say that Trump actually won.

Spin?

Looks like conservatives and the Trump campaign were the ones basking in reality, and it the mainstream media was simply lying to America… again.

We at The Horn News understand the desperation of the mainstream media.

They’re losing their control of the news. For decades, the corporate spin machine decided how Americans would get their information. Corporate media decided what the majority believed, because they were the ones controlling the narrative.

In the past few years, the media has lost that control.

In their place, The Horn News and others have filled the spin vacuum with facts… and the mainstream is NOT happy about it.

So they’re on the offensive, ready to pounce.

Fortunately for conservatives, we have truth on our side — and it put our man in the White House.

Sorry, Washington Post, but we remembered.
