Thoughts on the election
Editor:
We are writing on Wednesday, Nov. 9. We are very happy. The candidate we supported for almost two years is now president-elect. We are part of the “common folk.” We knew people wanted a better economy, more opportunities, not more elitism, not more racism or gender bias.
However, we are almost happiest that the mass media were proven wrong. They didn’t get that the majority of people did not like that Hillary was the “darling” of the media. People didn’t like who she is, what she stood for, who surrounded her; they did not want continuation of Obama, nor even having Bill back in the White House.
Furthermore, we believe the mass media have assisted in fomenting racism, bigotry and religious bias. Yes, there is some of that out there and always will be. Basically, though, we believe in the goodness of people in our country. We resent the media (in all forms) that have played up to those few groups that promote divisiveness. In short, those red states on our electoral map have proven that the media got it wrong.
