Trump Victory Media Roundup: Establishment Goes Through the Stages of Grief
Robert Spencer
Donald Trump has been reelected, and the self-appointed arbiters of acceptable opinion in the establishment media are struggling to adjust to new realities. As they do so, they’re giving us a textbook display of what it looks like to go through most of the classic stages of grief: denial, anger, depression, and acceptance. And even though Trump’s victory was comprehensive and inarguable, we know from long experience that they’re going to have the hardest time with that last one.
Denial was on abundant display on Monday, the day before the election, when PBS told us happily that “Harris has a 4-point lead over Trump in final PBS News/NPR/Marist election poll.” NBC crowed: “Trump's once enthusiastic crowds dwindle in election's closing days.” The UK’s Express took aim at a supposedly failing candidate, saying: “Donald Trump baffles with incomprehensible ramble as North Carolina rally fails to fill up,” and “Donald Trump suffering 'memory lapse' and 'butchering' speeches ahead of election.”
See? It was going to be all right. PBS quoted Lee Miringoff of the Marist Center for Public Opinion, assuring jittery leftists that we were in for a repeat of 2020: “We’ve gone through all of this to get back to… pretty much where you ended up four years ago.”
