Election 2016: Our Reflective Media Coverage Report Card (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

It was a hard presidential campaign season for the American news media. It began with newsrooms already up against it financially. Struggling, in a country moving from news to social media. Then came the campaigns. A closed Hillary Clinton. A way out-of-the-box Donald Trump. Twitterstorms and wild claims and full frontal attack. And then the polls, the projections. Wrong. Now, questions all over as Donald Trump lines up for the White House. This hour On Point, the news media and 2016. — Tom Ashbrook
