[See NewsBusters for more.] Why were journalists so surprised by Donald Trump’s election victory in November? They forgot about the country. That was the conclusion from author and Bloomberg politics editor John Heilemann on Thursday’s CBS This Morning. Co-host Gayle King quizzed, “When you look at it now, what do you think you missed?” Heilemann replied, “I think for journalists, one of the things that the campaign taught is it is really important to cover the candidates... but don't take your eye off the country.”
