Highly recommended: You Are Still Crying Wolf

In the face of the continuing hyperventilating among mainstream journalists about Donald Trump's election, I highly recommend Scott Alexander's article today You Are Still Crying Wolf . Scott Adams is also recommending it, I see.

Alexander puts some hard facts and real quotes against some of the more outlandish claims about Trump circulating these days in the press and blogosphere.  He isn't particularly a Trump supporter, and is well aware of Trump's failings, but he simply thinks there are too many completely false claims running around.  His worry is that if a real Hitler came along, the liberal press has cried "Wolf" so many times before (with Reagan, with McCain, with Romney, with Bush, now with Trump) that no one would listen.

I haven't trusted the press in years, and never trusted the blogosphere, but the blatant bias in this election against an anti-establishment candidate has made me largely tune the press out, and apparently many others have had the same reaction.
