Trump and the Press

Shockingly, the media has been cowered by Trump's daily assaults upon it and by right-wing radio's constant carping about the media's alleged anti-conservative bias. Thus, stories about Trump's obvious ignorance of policy, especially foreign, and his rambling, wholly inconsistent rants about immigration, race, and taxation are reported uncritically and, when read from teleprompters, treated as bordering on presidential.
On the other hand, reporters seem to feel pressured into regularly raising faux issues about Clinton's honesty, and judgment, fueling her low ratings for transparency, likability and truthfulness. The result is the  prospect of an unnervingly close election and the nightmarish possibility of a Trump presidency.
The duty of the press to be unbiased and fair does not override its essential obligation to report fully and accurately. When the emperor has no clothes, it should say so.
