Why Are The Media Objectively Pro-Trump?

Because they are, at this point. It’s not even false equivalence: compare the amount of attention given to the Clinton Foundation despite absence of any evidence of wrongdoing, and attention given to Trump Foundation, which engaged in more or less open bribery — but barely made a dent in news coverage.

Clinton was harassed endlessly over failure to give press conferences, even though she was doing lots of interviews; Trump violated decades of tradition by refusing to release his taxes, amid strong suspicion that he is hiding something; the press simply dropped the subject.

Brian Beutler argues that it’s about protecting the media’s own concerns, namely access. But I don’t think that works.

It doesn’t explain why the Clinton emails were a never-ending story but the disappearance of millions of George W. Bush emails wasn’t, or for that matter Jeb Bush’s deletion of records; the revelation that Colin Powell did, indeed, offer HRC advice on how to have private email the way he did hasn’t even been reported by some major news organizations.

1. Because the media has long been infiltrated by right wing talking heads

They were placed there to do this job for whatever turd the republican party puts on stage.

2. They are NOT objective. They are subjective & go easy on Trump for ACCESS.

... Except they need to wake up and realize they aren't even getting ACCESS. They haven't gotten an appearance from Trump in weeks. Dr. Oz is getting one on Thursday.
