The mainstream media imagines that it they are a chosen elite with a manifets destiny to select the President and decide the agenda for the country. As for the will of the people - that is completely irrelevant to elitists. Today's media are not liberals by a traditional definition, but indoctrinates of the New Left now in academia from the 1960's and 70's. Marcuse's repressive tolerance is their modus operandi where anything and anybody on the left that supports the progressive world view is to be tolerated and anything and anybody that threatens that world view is to discredited, marginalized, and destroyed by any means foul or fair - including physical violence.  

The mainstream media is no longer the free press that watches over a free society.  It is nothing more than the propaganda tool of progressive elitists who desire to remake America into a semi-socialist republic.  They and their Democrats oppose any selection for a supreme judge who adheres strictly to the Constitution.
