Thank you Hillary for saying this.
Cilizza deserves blame. That 50-story tweet shows it clearly.
Don't let Haberman and Thrush at NYT off the hook either. NYT has a ton of influence with liberals. My guess is that Haberman is the single journalist who bears the most blame for electing Trump - she wrote a ton of email stories and her audience is people whose discouragement from voting had a huge effect.
