Someone please explain to me the "upside" of trying to keep a fair-minded perspective when covering a man who lies at every opportunity (often for no legitimate reason at all)? A man, who not only lies repeatedly, but bolsters his lies with personal insults. Who can be objective?

Careful, accurate professionalism stands up for those values when truth is under assault. And covering Trump fairly makes him look pretty bad. But that’s his fault, not the people accurately reporting what he says and does.

I cannot agree with you more. Not just from some obscure academic exercise, but from a 'real' observation of what we as [observers] actually see. This "debate" as to whether or not the media is fair [to him] should be solely predicated on Trump's relentless contempt for norms.

Let me add this addendum item. Throughout Trump's incredible life of recalcitrance & "getting away with it", he's yet to have to answer for any of it. However, there comes a time when everyone's luck runs out. (Think: the Mueller investigation). Tax returns finally made public?

Actually Trump has hogged his way to be center focus 24/7 despite the Facts he claims are fake news, a Pathological Liar is tough to cover..

Good read. The same challenges apply to covering RW'rs who think that being verbally abusive, racist, sexist, or a religious extremist is what conservatism is all about. They talk like lunatics on camera then blame the media for their unpopularity + SM criticism.

By the way, from where I come from, you get "respect" when you offer respect. Trump has proven a life-long incapability of garnering the remotest semblance of respectful behavior. And, here we are, discoursing whether or not the "The Media" treats him fairly. Let's get real!
