It criticizes CNN&#8217;s Brian \u2064Stelter for claiming that the media did not \u200bunderstand the voters&#8217; concerns, suggesting that their coverage was misguided and overlooked essential issues \u200clike the economy, crime, and \u200bimmigration. The author accuses the media of intentionally\u200b misrepresenting these \u2062realities \u200bto bolster \u2062a narrative that supported\u2064 Democratic candidates, particularly\u2063 Vice President Kamala Harris, and to downplay \u2063the sentiments of Trump supporters\u2062 and independent voters. The piece argues\u2063 that the\u2063 media&#8217;s attempts at self-reflection are insincere \u200dand that their failure to connect\u2062 with the\u2062 electorate led to rejection of\u200c their narrative. It concludes \u200bby asserting \u200cthat the media and Democratic leaders share accountability for their\u200b failures in the election and warns against \u200ctrusting \u200bthem moving forward. Eddie\u2063 Scarry, the\u2062 author, \u2062serves as a columnist for The Federalist.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TUqghrANNPA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/11\/11\/heres-how-the-media-are-lying-right-now-they-missed-the-mood-of-the-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Here%E2%80%99s%20How%20The%20Media%20Are%20Lying%20Right%20Now:%20They%20%E2%80%98Missed%20The%20Mood%E2%80%99%20Of%20The%20Election&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/11\/11\/heres-how-the-media-are-lying-right-now-they-missed-the-mood-of-the-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Here%E2%80%99s%20How%20The%20Media%20Are%20Lying%20Right%20Now:%20They%20%E2%80%98Missed%20The%20Mood%E2%80%99%20Of%20The%20Election&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/11\/11\/heres-how-the-media-are-lying-right-now-they-missed-the-mood-of-the-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/11\/11\/heres-how-the-media-are-lying-right-now-they-missed-the-mood-of-the-election\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Here%E2%80%99s%20How%20The%20Media%20Are%20Lying%20Right%20Now:%20They%20%E2%80%98Missed%20The%20Mood%E2%80%99%20Of%20The%20Election&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/11\/11\/heres-how-the-media-are-lying-right-now-they-missed-the-mood-of-the-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>Nobody can be mad at Democrat leaders for not admitting until after the election how terrible they&rsquo;ve been.
