The right has complained for decades that the media is bias against it. WikiLeaks has undermined the endless denials. It is crystal clear that the majority of the media is nothing more than a branch of the Democratic Party. Case in point: Donna Brazile provided the questions that would be asked in debates during the primaries to the Clinton Campaign on multiple occasions. Not only was the DNC trying to sabotage the Sanders Campaign, there were also efforts to boost Hillary by giving her an unfair advantage.
This win at all costs mentality might achieve a victory but it also means the candidate is not as prepared for a real crisis. If you have gotten to the pinnacle of power because the answers were handed to you, what are you going to do when you must deal with China or Russia? There won't be someone available to put a thumb on the scale for you.
For years, Democrats have been getting softball questions from the media and glowing praise for unremarkable careers. By contrast, Republicans, Libertarians, and even Greens are subjected to hard ball interviews and great achievements receive tepid reviews. Again, this may benefit the Democrats in winning but it also leaves them unprepared for real adversity.
