Why are the rules of journalism being rewritten this election year?
My local newspaper, the Sonoma County Press-Democrat, is so clearly in the tank for Hillary Clinton that I no longer take pleasure in my morning read. Trump’s acceptance speech, for example, was covered on the front page with two stories: on the left a straight, albeit somewhat judgmental, account of the speech, and on the right a “fact check” that disputed every point made by the GOP nominee.
Clinton’s speech was covered with three front page stories, with headlines describing her nomination as “historic,” “inspiring” and “trailblazing.” A relatively mild fact-checking piece was relegated to the back pages.
Yeah. It's pretty appalling that Yahoo posted that fake "Trump quits" article instead of reporting on anything relevant whatsoever. There's no effort to hide how much of a bias there is in this race.

How? Is the press no longer bias? Doesn't sound like it form what you say, so no change.
Owen Murphy
There's always bias. The bias against Trump just seems to be way heavier than usual.

What does it mean?
Ryan Fisher
What about the bias against socialists?
Julian Harris
I didn't say anything. I posted the beginning of the news article and linked it. Why don't you go read it skippy.

Donald Trump had some similar policies from the Dominican Republic, the famous one is to deport all Muslims and Mexicans. He is going to make the United States into another Dominican Republic, a racist, Apartheid country that has history of opposition, persecution, and genocide against innocent Haitians, now the Dominicans are doing it again. Trump sees it and he think he want to do a same to all Muslims and Mexicans. We need Hillary Clinton to kick Donald and his racist family to the Apartheid Dominican Republic, so she could carpet bomb the country for justice. Hillary want to help Haiti, the Dominican Republic steals the charities and blame it on the Clinton Foundation.

Objectivity doesn't mean giving each side equal weight. If one candidate is qualified and the other is a clueless menace, coverage is going to reflect that.
Jason Phillips
My question still applies.
Joseph Reyes
WTF are you babbling about?
So as another words, objectivity doesn't matter if I don't like or agree with you. Please KYS immediately.

If you can't see the answer for yourself, I likely won't be able to give it to you.
Those who get it, don't need an explanation. Those who don't, no explanation will do.

Oh I must have misread something then. I thought the article was trying to say the media is biased. Guess not, it must have somehow said the media isn't bias. Why is that a problem then?

The media at large isn`t any more or less biased than it is any other election year.
You just have a much more polarized public so your respone to these pieces will be much stronger.
James Jenkins
It is bad this election. It is very, very bad.
I think binders full of women was an early warning.

Cable news and newspapers are struggling. They're only a few years from going under. They have to separate themselves from people who do the news on the internet for free.
That's why they talk about Trump so much. They know its bias, but they know people will look at it because people like to get angry.
