The mainstream media was fellating Hillary and gave her the nod way before Trump started to mouth off. You could google articles from 2016 from outlets like CNN talking about how if you don't vote for her it's because you hate strong women and are sexist. Naturally the likes of CNN started to attack Trump being he was her opponent. These attacks only really started to happen as he was clearly going to be the nominee, before that he was just viewed as the next Ron Paul who will fade out of the race once the Bush/Rubio/Kasich establishment types shine.
Again, i never said the media is fair, that they didnt have it out for Trump, or that they're unbiased. i'm speaking to how Trump brings poor media treatment upon himself above and beyond what other GOP people get.
if we're calling the media a liberal biased institution, and that's fine by me, then we should judge on a sliding scale how they treat GOP politicians. Trump gets it the worst by an order of magnitude because of how he acts, not just because he beat HRC, not because he's vocally against Obama, etc. He is waging a war against them, and war has casualties. he also likes to cry about those casualties as if he's not at war. commanders dont cry over lost soldiers, they lament lost battles and lost wars. he's a big cry baby, walking out of a presser is just another proof of that in a long line of proofs. the man is a child and incapable of speaking coherently.
