The media's outrage over the latest thing Trump said is not just bias, it's ridiculous hypocrisy. After all much of the time Democrats have said the same things that Trump did. Including Dems like Hillary.
Trump called Obama and Hillary the founders of ISIS. The media swarmed. It's apparently inappropriate to use such a figure of speech. Except that they had no problem with it when Hillary Clinton called Trump an ISIS recruiter.
"We have seen how Donald Trump is being used to essentially be a recruiter for more people to join the cause of terrorism," Hillary insisted on CNN.

Hey...we should “move on”. Don’t be so “mean-spirited”. That is “history”, no?
Could Hillary Clinton calling Trump an ISIS recruiter be a confession and projection?
It seems too often that the Democrats project what they themselves are actually doing. The Democrats have no viable policies so they attack.
The Democrats have no economic policy, just stagnation. The Democrats continue to weaken the military with spending cuts and with their social experiments. The Democrats continue their regulatory burdens.
Their open borders encourages terrorism, takes away jobs, and thumbs its nose at laws on the books and the Constitution.
The media picks and chooses among facts. It discards true facts and invents fantasies that will help their candidate.
Agreed. Saw the same sort of thing concerning the Syrian refugee crisis in our election last year (a New Democratic member told a false story that the drowned boy’s family wanted to come to Canada but was ignored and the media ran with that immediately big time).
When I say Obama and Clinton founded ISIS, I mean it much more literally than even Trump’s usual defenders are prepared to admit. They keep calling it hyperbole. I think its very much closer to literal truth.
Had ISIS behaved, and not made such a splash chopping off heads on camera, Obama and Hillary would have been proud to take credit for them. As it is, they have become an embarrassment to the point that we’ve had to send forces in, at first to pretend to fight them, and finally to actually fight them. You’ll notice that, until recently, our attacks on them have been meant to simply re-shape and limit them; only recently do we seem to have started damaging them. That we’re in an election may not be coincidental.
Benghazi is about Syria, recruiting jihadists and gathering weapons and forwarding them via Turkey into Syria. The whole war, including ISIS, is a Turkish/Saudi-Qatari/State Department enterprise. Turkey has been ISIS’s safe rear zone, and Erdogan has been selling ISIS oil from the beginning.
When Obama pulled our troops from western Iraq, he very helpfully stockpiled enormous amounts of weapons and vehicles which were left undefended by Iraqi forces. Al Qaeda, now re-named ISIS, in one move became the best equipped army in the middle east. That is not an accident.
It is true that our policy supporting Turkey has been rendered someone incoherent by our parallel policy favoring Iran. How many press monkeys have noticed that. Now that we seem to be at odds with Turkey, I am watching to see how that all shakes out.
This is at least how it looks to me.
Sometimes the accusation is the first clue to figuring out their goals.
Pure projection
It's a Marx/Lenin/Alinsky thing...."Always accuse your adversary of what you yourself are doing."
McCain, Graham and Rubio were there to assist them in arming the jihadis in Syria.
Stalinists lie. Always
Yup. People that do wrong things often need to project those actions upon others, then condemn others for doing it, because they cannot deal truth with the person in the mirror. Another part of cognitive dissonance so rampant among proggies.
