US media post-election mea culpas of poor journalism contributing to Trump's victory indicates strongly it will bore down on US political coverage as never before.

As for truth and noble causes, whoa: journalism is a business like any other, owned by the very wealthy who want to influence national and world affairs to their liking..

However maliciously or benignly intended, the US or Canada couldn't use the word exceptionalism without responsible journalism. Count our blessings.
