Just for fun.  Name the major newspaper or TV channel that throughout 2016, tagged every Trump story -- even "reporting" of factual events -- with the following "Editor's Note" at the bottom of the column space:

.

"Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liarrampant xenophoberacistmisogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S."

.

Bonus points:  which major newspaper or TV channel tagged every Hillary story with something analogous?

Bonus bonus points:  which MSM media outlet objected, in any way, to the above string of labels affixed to all HuffPo's "reporting" of Trump stories?  (Plot spoiler:  none.)

.......

The point isn't, Donald Trump is okay.  

The point is, the free press was supposed to be the 4th leg of American political freedom, there to report even-handedly on the Left and Right -- so that the American voter could decide the fate of the country.   It's why the press has its own Amendment in the Bill of Rights.
