The Beltway after wondering how Trump happened during the primary are now doing everything they can to help him be our first dictator in US history.
I was just looking at Politico. There were literally 10 different anti Hillary pieces. One might count as anti Trump-something about disagreement in his campaign.
But headline after headline was about her emails-one was about Debbie Wasserman-Schultz wish is really anti Hillary. The reason Ms. Wasserman-Schutlz is hated is because she's believed to be Hillary's friend.
Just like positive headlines about Bernie are less because the media loves Bernie than to dig at Hillary
Here are just a few.
"Why emails are here to stay
Why Clinton’s email problems are here to stay
"A new audit doesn't land a knockout punch, but leaves lingering questions that could dog the Democratic front-runner."

In other words, the audit which we knew was coming revealed nothing new about Hillary but we in the media will continue to talk it up as if it did. On the other hand, the media is conspicuously silent about what was new in the report: we learned that despite what the pundits have claimed, Hillary is not the only Secretary of State to use private email primarily.

Politico also had a piece that claimed the Bernie Bros may go Trump because he's 'change.' True, but so was Hitler.

Another piece promises 9 new revelations in the IG report.
"The 9 biggest revelations in the State IG report on Clinton's emails."
"The 83-page document provided fresh details about whether the private server was authorized and concerns about hacking attacks."

They oversold it by 9.
Next Politico gushes over Trump's 'brilliant unconventional plan' to target Hillary over Whitewater.

Wow is that asymmetrical. It's unconventional, mostly because most GOPers have long since given up on the 90s scandals-not because they are so boldly unconventional but because they didn't work.

So much for 'equal time.' We keep hearing about Trump's 'asymmetric warfare' but what the really asymmetric warfare is that for every one possibly negative Trump story pundits like Politico have 10 or 11 Hillary hit jobs.
During the primary the media often wrung its hands over the rise of Trump and what he means for journalism. How do you deal with someone so dishonest?
I argued that the Beltway was being way too modest. They had created a space for someone like him to operate going back to the way they didn't hold Bush accountable vs. Gore in 2000.
They were much more interested in why Al Gore said he invented the Internet-even though he never said that-than the lies in W's budget.
And lo and behold: now that Trump is the GOP standard bearer rather than a joke candidate who has no chance at winning the GOP nomination, the media is largely reverting to Bush-Gore form.
They are much more concerned with nitpicking Hillary than going after the really egregious things that Trump is saying and doing. For one thing, he is saying he doesn't have to play by basic democratic rules in refusing to release his tax returns. Yet the media is hardly badgering him about this.
Or what about the violent protests at the Trump rally. This was not covered by Politico at all.
They're much more concerned about applying a double standard to Hillary's emails. To me, if Trump were President the least of what he might do is use private emails.
