WE KNEW the mainstream media in this country hate Donald Trump and have vilified him ever since he began campaigning for office nine years or so ago. But their reaction to his victory last week shows not only that they are unhinged, but childishly naïve as well.
Take one example. The day after the result, Harriet Harman appeared on ITV’s This Morning. Quite why her views on the electors’ choice in the US should have any relevance to anybody is a mystery. Nor could her political opinions be regarded as balanced or representative, but the presenters nevertheless accepted everything she said without challenge. Harman’s disgust for Trump was evident, and she concluded that he would take away women’s reproductive rights, with her hosts nodding in agreement like a pair of donkeys.
