No there isn't.
If there was a liberal media bubble, Sanders would have gotten more coverage and Clinton would have been given the cold shoulder.
There isn't a liberal bias in the media, there is an establishment bias in it and the establishment doesn't really lean to the left overall.
Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
"mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
your timeline is inaccurate, among other things. Even after all this time, it would of taken just one work email sent to well anyone that wasn't turned over to legitimize the witch hunt and yet....nothing.
decommissioning hardware specifically when it held sensitive information when its no longer in use is standard procedure.
Except that they were overwhelmingly pro Hillary before Trump was even a shoe in for the rep nomination. cnn was calling for her to run and running pro Hillary for potus op eds before she even declared and then they treated Bernie's candidacy like it was a joke from the get go. I clicked cnn's website almost daily through the election cycle to see what they were throwing out as the latest election spin and it was almost non stop pro Hillary op eds until later on when it became non stop 'Trump is a misogynist/racist' op eds. They only covered the email leaks for about a week or two prob because they pretty much had to. To not cover them at all would just be like you can't even pretend to be a news network any more.

People talk about the anti trump coverage like it was a partisan thing. He is objectively a horrible human being, with a shocking and bigoted personal and business history, and was/is espousing offensive ideology while lying nearly every day. The liberal bubble = honest coverage of a sht tier human being.
The wall of "Trump is going to lose terribly" coverage was based on polls. The polls were off because people lied. I'm not sure how this discredits the media in any way or shows that there was any kind of echo chamber.

Please...Clinton could have murdered someone and only Fox news would have talked about it.
I'm still baffled by the amount of people who do not understand how Trump won. Maybe you don't belong to the middle class where our buying power is decreasing. Salaries remain stagnant while the cost of everything rises. Trump was different from the past Clinton, Bush, and Obamas of the world. He tapped in to a hidden anger. You call them "uneducated" or "dumb" but their numbers are large and they are the backbone of America. Without farmers, electricians, construction workers, plumbers, etc...You wouldn't have a pot to piss in.
It's not that his message was so great, it's that he had one. Much of what he promised, he can't deliver. But that is true of any campaign. They do need the help of others in government, after all. What was striking to me, was how devoid Hillary's campaign was of specific policy initiatives. I get how she could think there was no way she could lose to him, but I don't think saying that in your ads is enough. You still have to play the game, even if your opponent sucks.
Well, it would make sense to take it from the benefits numbers. Or better, scare everyone by comparing the number of employed households paying taxes (on the books) to the number of adult households in the country. People might have a heart attack if they saw that number.......
I believe they still use the phone survey because it is easy to manipulate those numbers and politicians love malleable facts. Hard data would be more difficult to manipulate or spin.
I agree. She tried to "dial it in." Also, her whole message was (basically): Trump says bad, inappropriate things and is not Presidential. That didn't cut it. i can't recall one single specific policy initiative she mentioned.

No, I just don't trust the government (either party)- so I am very acutely aware of the methods they use to lie to us.
How does that even follow from what was said?
No, polls are worth something when used correctly. A polls in elections are predictions, nothing more. Polls help gives odds. They will be wrong from time to time. If you understand what polls are for, then you know they are worth a damn.
Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Through passion I gain strength. Through strength I gain power.
Through power I gain victory. Through victory my chains are broken. The Force shall set me free.

Polls in US general elections are hard to get right, since they are so dependent on turn out. More people wanted Hillary to be president, even electorally. But, they didn't show up as well as the people that wanted Trump to win. Mitt Romney got more votes than Trump, and he was soundly defeated by Obama. Clearly, turn out was the issue, and you can't really poll for that; your model for turn out is just wrong or it's right.
