It is amazing that the media just tells the stories that they want to tell, facts be damned.

In 2016 Hillary made more campaign stops in Ohio than in any other state, in a first place tie with Florida and Pennsylvania. I believe she made 15 stops there. She also had an enormous ground operation there, and spent enormous sums of money in advertising. But that isn't the story that the media likes.

Here is what they have decided to say happened:

"For some Ohio Democrats, Hillary Clinton’s last race is something of a cautionary tale. In 2016, she largely wrote off the state, going more than a month without a visit after Labor Day. She instead emphasized growing demographics in North Carolina, Colorado and Florida."

They just don't care what the truth is. They just want to deliver what they think is a compelling narrative.
