This is all a “whitelash,” you see.
You’d think that Trump’s victory – the one we all discounted too far in advance – would lead to a certain newfound humility in the political press.But of course that’s not how it works. To us, speaking broadly, our diagnosis was still basically correct. The demons were just stronger than we realized. This is all a “whitelash,” you see. Trump voters are racist and sexist, so there must be more racists and sexists than we realized. Tuesday night’s outcome was not a logic-driven rejection of a deeply flawed candidate named Clinton; no, it was a primal scream against fairness, equality, and progress. Let the new tantrums commence! Commentary: The unbearable smugness of the press - CBS News

Your Say
"...there must be more racists and sexists than we realized..."
===================
It is impossible for them to understand that it is THEY that are the racists and sexists.
The proof has been there all along.
THEY are the ones that lead with their genitals right out front demanding that everyone acknowledge and accept them. If we tell them we don't care or we are not interested they instantly go into flying shit fits.
Like little spoiled children.
THEY are the ones that shun the minorities and financially prevent them from moving to their neighborhoods while at the same time chastising the rest of us if we don't welcome the minorities into the fold. We HAVE welcomed the minorities into the fold and every time we have been disappointed, hurt, damaged, and still we are wrong according to them, and the whining continues.
Like little spoiled children.
Whitelash?
I have to laugh.
You haven't seen anything yet, but you will.
You are going to see pushback on a scale you never imagined, from the top down and from the bottom up. You are going to see the consequences of your behavior in 24/7 real time right in your face.
You are going to be treated like the little spoiled children you pretend to be.
You will be marginalized, humiliated, chastised, shunned, ostracized, and finally beaten and killed if you don't just leave, or straighten up your act.
The adults have taken back control of the country and order and logic will rule supreme and you have nothing to say about it at all. If this is beyond your capacity then you should think about leaving, before you become crippled or dead.

Just learned there's a current hashtag on Twitter #assassinate Trump...I kid you not. Twitter reps are claiming they're shutting down accts tweeting it. Bullshit. These spoiled rotten bratlings have no idea what they're toying with.

I beg your pardon you brain dead myopic. It was a primal scream against injustice, tyranny and a lapse back to the dark ages.

The press got it's first taste of life under the Trump Presidency. When he went to DC to meet with Obama, the press was excluded from his plane, motorcade and given no releases about timing. My guess they will find a very limited press pool and little to give them relief in their shortage of news.
Now that shouldn't hurt them much since they're good at making up news out of whole cloth. But what they do get, they probably won't like.
