The simplest proof of the fact that almost every political reporter was either dumb as rocks, happy to be lied to, or, most likely, was on board with the ideology that government spending money on anything except war is bad, was that they took deficit concerns seriously. Nobody cares about the deficit (and, mostly, they shouldn't!). [...] They don't care. They never cared. Republican presidents run up the deficit and Democratic ones bring it down, and after decades of this the Republicans are still the party of fiscal responsibility according to political journalists. Republicans hate spending any money for nice things and love tax cuts for rich people. That's it. I am a dumb blogger and I know this. You all get paid big salaries by our leading media outlets and you are stupid or liars

Charles Pierce on why presidential press conferences no longer work. And this bull’s eye:
Let us dispose of this point right here. If I had received the kind of coverage [Hillary Clinton]'s received for going on 25 years, I'd communicate with the media by postcard. Occasionally.

James Fallows summarizes mass media reaction to the Republican candidate:
