Cenk Uygur: Hillary Clinton lost the election because she didnt come on our show [View all]
Why the Mainstream Media Missed the Story of the Election

Now, let me tell you something you will find shocking and is almost certainly true Hillary Clinton lost the election because she didnt come on our show. If youre in the mainstream media, you will probably find that comment laughable and utterly preposterous. Thats because you have the habits of a 65 year old. You watch cable news the median viewer of CNN is 61 years old, MSNBC is 63 years old and Fox News is 68 years old. The median age of a Bill OReilly viewer is 72 years old. He is doing a show out of a senior citizens center and everyone in the NY/DC media thinks his every utterance is paramount and must be dissected for how it will affect the American populace.
With TYT Network 80 million monthly viewers if Hillary Clinton reached out to them, youre telling me she couldnt have swung 39,000 votes?!
Remember, the election was decided by 78,000 votes in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. A 39,000 vote swing and she wins. To be fair, almost everything cost her the election. Was it the fake news or Russia or Comey or us? The answer is yes, it was all of them. Mainly, it was the completely out of touch campaign she ran, but up against the most unpopular candidate in US history, all she needed to do was win over a couple of extra votes. But she wouldnt do it.
OK, even I have hard time with this one. But as long as we're plugging things, I think Hillary Clinton lost because
she only did one episode of Broad City and not two.
