I think that is very illustrative of the news culture today. Don’t get me wrong, I think Trump is a slimy, dangerous schmuck who has hijacked the GOP and exposed a number of its adherents for the gullible fools that they are. However, there is no real news anymore. Either there is Fox News, which always puts a positive spin on every idiotic thing the president does, or there is CNN and MSNBC, who will probably come out with articles in the near future alleging that Trump can’t fart right or brushes with toothpaste made in a North Korean sweat shop. There is virtually no objectivity any longer.

I find it interesting you only cited examples of cable news outlets. Cable news outlets were never really high standard-bearers of journalism.
