In August 2016, Jim Rutenberg of the New York Times saw Donald Trump was going to be serious candidate. He spoke for many in the media:
“If you’re a working journalist and you believe that Donald J. Trump is a demagogue playing to the nation’s worst racist and nationalistic tendencies, that he cozies up to anti-American dictators and that he would be dangerous with control of the United States nuclear codes, how the heck are you supposed to cover him?
“Because if you believe all of those things, you have to throw out the textbook American Journalism has been using for the better part of the past half-century….”
And with that, the media’s pilot fish flushed journalism right down the crapper. Covering the President became a contest of which “journalist” could slander Trump the most. The out and proud anti-Trump media was born.
