If you ever doubted WaPo was anything more than Dem Propaganda

What if Election Day 2016 had gone a little differently? What if a freak snowstorm across the Rust Belt had kept rural Trump voters from the polls? What if Russia had read its psyops data wrong and pivoted its resources to Snapchat? What if James Comey had taken a closer look at those emails in late October and decided, eh, it’s probably nothing. What if all of these things happened? What if Clinton had won? Let’s pretend. In the doldrums of mid-November, pundits swarmed the only relevant question: Is Bill ever going to move to Washington? The first gent-to-be remained coy, citing the ever-more-complex needs of the Manhattan-based Clinton Foundation. On Inauguration Day, President Hillary Rodham Clinton took the oath in a headband and a pantsuit. Hey, it was rainy, and what does she care what you think anymore? That night, Lin-Manuel Miranda brought the house down with a freestyle rap at her first inaugural ball, while new White House co-chief strategists/toasts of the town Robby Mook and Donna Brazile set Twitter afire with their exuberant choreographed dance. The following day, dozens descended on the Mall for the “Men’s March.” Three fistfights broke out over who forgot to secure a rally permit. It all coincided with a major shake-up at Fox News. The New York Times had taken advantage of the post-election news lull to ramp up its investigation of Bill O’Reilly, who was forced out by early December. Fox then rebuilt its lineup around its new highest-paid star; Megyn Kelly’s two-hour show, which debuted Jan. 23, fillets the new president every night for a record-breaking viewership. Tagline: “Hey, she’s a woman, so you can’t say it’s sexist.” Meanwhile, construction began that month on Trump Dacha, a 300-room luxury hotel scheduled to open in Moscow in 2019. In February, a PricewaterhouseCoopers accountant accidentally handed Faye Dunaway a spare best-actress envelope backstage at the Academy Awards, and she opened it and declared that “La La Land” had won Best Picture. But that was okay, because the Hollywood community, smug in the afterglow of a Hillary victory, had actually voted for “La La Land,” feeling no impetus to send a message by boosting a melancholy indie pic about a gay African American drug dealer.

The New England Patriots lost the Super Bowl, because no one goes on to win when they’ve fallen that far behind. Carrie Fisher is still alive. TrumpTV is a ratings bonanza — or “Bannonza,” as Adweek said in its profile of network executive Stephen K. Bannon. O’Reilly took a job here, and so did Roger Ailes, looking healthier than ever since the November results gave him a new rage to live. Stephen Miller’s “American Carnage” recently surpassed Hannity in the key 24-to-54 demographic. “The Dr. Gorka Show” was renewed for a second season after securing a record number of catheter advertisers. And “She’s Not a 10,” with host Stacey Dash, eclipsed “Dancing With the Stars” in a season featuring Kellyanne Conway doing the polka in patriotic polkawear with a magnetic Russian named Yuri Activmayzursky, who seemed to come out of nowhere and occasionally cracks jokes about America on the air.
