Media justify anti-trump bias.

For me this argument against "bias" is like the argument that both pro and anti human-caused-climate-change should get equal coverage. That is nonesense, and I think asking the MSM to not pay attention to the moral extremes of Trump's candidacy is to ask them to not be part of our society.

the media has been falling all over trump, giving him record-shattering free coverage.

it's really only since the conventions started, when trump has been just one over-the-top self-inflicted wound after another that the media has finally shown any semblance of balanced reporting.
