The media’s legions of Trump-bashers are finally acknowledging the obvious.

And trying their best to justify it.

But there’s one problem: Tilting against one candidate in a presidential election can’t be justified.

This is not a defense of Donald Trump, who has been at war with much of the press since he got in the race. Too many people think if you criticize the way the billionaire is being covered, you are somehow backing Trump.

And it’s not about the commentators, on the right as well as the left, who are savaging Trump, since they are paid for their opinions.

This is about the mainstream media’s reporters, editors and producers, whose credo is supposed to be fairness.

And now some of them are flat-out making the case for unfairness—an unprecedented approach for an unprecedented campaign.

The Leftist media will use every false logic tactic to justify their failure to report the news truthfully. Through their long history in our nation, they have emerged to become the reporters of false narratives and misrepresenting the truth. If only our Founders could see what they sacrifices so much to bring forth. Of course, our media should be ashamed and may well bring forth their demise if they continue.
