Salon - Desperately slamming Krugman: Columnist unfairly targeted for anti-Trump, pro-Hillary take

[TomCADem]

Here the MSM is complaining about being called out on their false equivalency and bias toward Donald Trump with the most recent example being how the MSM plays up innuendos about the Clinton Foundation while downplaying clear evidence of bribes by the Trump Foundation. As we get closer and closer to the election, the MSM is doing its best to normalize Trump while playing up the false narrative of Trump pivoting toward mainstream positions.

Not only is the establishment press irritated with Krugman’s latest article, “Hillary Clinton Gets Gored,” in which he highlights the journalistic malpractice evidenced in the news media’s amplification of Hillary Clinton’s non-scandal scandals over Donald Trump’s lengthy menu of real scandals and obscene negatives, but also, strangely, a vocal faction of the left believes Krugman is water-carrying for his “beloved candidate” Hillary.

The latter is perhaps as equally confounding as the former, especially knowing what Krugman and others objectively observe as an historically apocalyptic GOP candidate is slowly closing the polling gap with the far more qualified Democratic rival.

After a full month in which Trump’s campaign bungled and botched its way through the first third of the general election and completely absent any newsworthy reason to shift to a “Trump redemption” narrative, the press is rapidly fabricating one. Even though Trump’s charitable foundation was investigated and fined by the Internal Revenue Service for a pay-to-play deal in Florida, cable news is instead emphasizing the Clinton Foundation’s alleged scandal in which nothing illegal has been uncovered.

Worse, we’ve already witnessed the mainstreaming of white nationalism, as political analyst Soledad O’Brien observed on CNN over the long weekend. We’re also beginning to see news segments about Hillary’s alleged health issues — her coughing jag on Tuesday became national news, thanks to Trump and the screeching commandant of his paranoid flying monkeys, Alex Jones.
