Media monitoring week 2: Clinton blames FBI for her defeat.

clinton-and-teh-fbiAfter Hillary Clinton’s unexpected defeat, the democrat candidate blames FBI director James Comey for Donald Trump’s victory in the US election.

Clinton’s assumptions were made on Saturday in a call with senior campaign donors in which Clinton confirms that Comey’s interference in the election had provoked her defeat. Apparently, FBI director Comey sent a letter to Congress declaring that the FBI had unprotected emails related to its earlier investigation into her use of a private server as  secretary of state.

"There are lots of reasons why an election like this is not successful...our analysis is that Comey's letter raising doubts that were groundless, baseless, proven to be, stopped our momentum." Hillary Clinton

The second day after Clinton’s defeat the media analysed Clinton’s and Trump’s voters and compared them. Four days after the US election the media analyses Clinton’s reaction after her defeat. It seems that most newspapers have taken a hostile approach about the subject, highlighting Clinton’s dissatisfaction. Newspapers as the Guardian and the Telegraph have exposed Clinton’s accusations to Comey in an objective and clear way, while the Mirror and the Daily Mail implied that the democrat candidate was just looking for someone to blame.

The Daily Mail subtly suggests that Clinton was just looking for an explanation, avoiding any type of detailed analysis about the FBI’s investigation or Clinton’s phone call in which she accuses FBI director Comey. I’ve immediately noticed how the Guardian and the Telegraph tried to be impartial with the democrat candidate while the Daily Mail revealed their objections about Clinton.
