Washington Post columnist says media spun for Democrats 'under threat of blowback' from left

Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle called out the mainstream media in a column on Monday, claiming that liberal media bias ended up hurting Democrats.
Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
As Democrats and liberal media figures continue to determine where Democrats went wrong after President-elect Trump was declared the winner, McArdle highlighted a Gallup poll that found 54% of Democrats said they had "high trust" in the media, compared to 27% of Independents and just 12% of Republicans.
"This was damaging for the news media that had already spent down the very reputational capital that progressive critics were begging us to use. But it was also bad for Democrats. By letting them win so many news cycles, we handed them a series of pyrrhic victories," she continued.
