>>. At the time the shift occurred Trump was more liberal than any of his GOP competitors--back before he got the nomination--yet the media singled him out. You can't attribute that to ideology. It is the legitimate role of the media to express horror at his nomination? To rule on his capabilities? Or just to report on them? At the end of the day, Trump -- the Republican candidate -- was ridiculed, attacked, discounted, name-called, and generally opposed by the media coverage and Democrat candidates were supported by media coverage. These people have every right to support the candidate of their choice for whatever reason. What I saw this year was a dangerous bias that is something new -- where hard news reporting by WaPo and NYT and others took on more than incidental tone, and IMO began advocating within the body of its reporting. I don't know of a thing to do about it. You can start editing the media. We are stuck with it. But they lose me as a reader or viewer when they do it. (I wouldn't even begin to describe the nonsense in cable news).
