The fact that a newspaper still openly endorses candidates baffles me...
The media have made far more egregious factual errors than Trump. With Trump, it's usually some sort of self-congratulatory hyperbole. Sometimes wrong, often cringe-inducing, but no real harm.

The media by contrast have willfully spread extremely damaging stories they knew were false or just didn't bother to do basic due diligence before pushing false stories. We were told confidently that the President had colluded with Russia and was Putin's pawn. Totally false. Covington kids? Not only did we see the media try to destroy a teen on false assumptions, we also got to see the full display of leftist violent rage, with numerous blue-check mark twitter accounts urging violence against an innocent child. Kavanaugh? The mask of objectivity comes off and we get full blown media character assassination. I could go on. a lot.
So it is pretty fucking ballsy for the media to whine about Trump's inaccuracies. But then, this is why we despise them and call them enemies of the country.
How for starters, POTUS constantly in bold letters calling free press ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, just because he can not handle any criticism,
Clearly the mainstream media are the enemies of the people. They are the weaponized communications wing of the democrat party and the far left zealots who support it.
I fully understand how people on the left find this kind of statement alarming or preposterous. Try to get out of your bubble for a second however and see why we feel this way. We understand the importance of a free press, which is why we are so angry. We don't have that in this country any more. Our media more closely resembles the state-controlled media of the USSR. I gave a few examples, but the real issue is most journalists no longer see their job as reporting facts. They see it as shaping opinion and silencing those who disagree. Who is behind this wave of social media censorship? Largely journalists. They find something that offends them then try to whip up the internet mob to force companies to deplatform people, fire them, ruin them, expose them to physical risk from crazies, etc. The entire time they paint themselves as basically equivalent to soldiers storming Normandy Beach under artillery fire because Trump has the temerity to object to ridiculously unfair and biased coverage. They can't even admit that Melania is the most glamorous and stylish First Lady in history. Instead they ignore her or mock her accent. If they are so obviously biased on something so minor, who would ever trust them on anything else?
As to kavanaugh, the partisanship he showed during the confirmation hearings was a new low the conservatives brought to the court.
Still angry because Kanavaugh defended himself against a political witchhunt?
Kavanaugh flat out told them that they were just trying to even the score for Hillary having won. He spoke the truth.
Clearly the mainstream media are the enemies of the people. They are the weaponized communications wing of the democrat party and the far left zealots who support it.

Free press is free to report what ever they deem credible, even if it pisses you off.
