Sore loser?

One of the headlines on PR Week today was that “Hillary Clinton's former international media co-ordinator has hit out at the press, alleging unprecedented bias towards presidential nominee Barack Obama”.

The question is not so much of whether this is true but more whether it’s really a good idea to ‘hit out at’ or blame the press after the event (the event during which you were part of the losing side).

Is this the moaning of a sore loser whose strategy didn’t work? Or is it a valid point about the power of a ‘friendly’ media?
