What you conveniently ignore Chris, is that the American mainstream media is by every possible measure, biased in favour of both the Democrats AND the political status quo. They are insiders every bit as much as the politicians in Washington.
They have a vested interest (in their view) of supporting Obama, of supporting both Clintons. They have an even greater vested interest in tearing down Trump. Thus the unprecedented search for dirt. (That's not to say Trump doesn't provide it, but other candidates have never been subjected to this level of vitriolic investigation by the press).
That makes most of what is written in favour of Obama, in favour of Clinton (H & B) somewhat suspect, as if coming from party operatives.
On the other hand, EVERYTHING written about Trump is coming from those who have a vested interest in his destruction, whether Dem or GOP in outlook.
What I am surprised at is the inability of more Americans to see what Trump and Clinton each really represent. Especially after 20 years of increasing complaint about both sides of the aisles.
A decent and demonstrably capable man like Mitt Romney got screwed by the media. A lightweight coward who plays the race card at every opportunity, dividing not bringing the races together, like Obama got lionized. Trump is the predictable result of the cynical game that been played by Washington/New York/LA insiders for 20 years.
