This bs is so typical of the Brown Shirted left wing faux journalists in America.

The New York Times has admitted that journalists are biased against Donald Trump. However, according to Times media columnist Jim Rutenberg, it’s Trump’s fault. The headline for Rutenberg’s article on the front page is: “Trump is Testing the Norms of Objectivity in Journalism.” A more accurate alternative would be: “Trump Exposes Most Journalists for the Herd-Like Partisans They Really Are.”
Rutenberg writes:
If you’re a working journalist and you believe that Donald J. Trump is a demagogue playing to the nation’s worst racist and nationalistic tendencies, that he cozies up to anti-American dictators and that he would be dangerous with control of the United States nuclear codes, how the heck are you supposed to cover him?
Because if you believe all of those things, you have to throw out the textbook American journalism has been using for the better part of the past half-century, if not longer, and approach it in a way you’ve never approached anything in your career. If you view a Trump presidency as something that’s potentially dangerous, then your reporting is going to reflect that. You would move closer than you’ve ever been to being oppositional.

A point of view contrary to theirs was a trigger. It caused them to discard objectivity.
Got it.
Even in high school back in the 60s, my English teacher wouldn't allow us to quote articles from Time magazine for our research papers.
The reason: Even back then, Time was not known to be truthful and objective. Too biased she told us.
I understand where the “Trump is a nationalist” meme comes from, but I’m at a loss regarding the racism claim. Or is that an attempt to get one last large purchase on the Racism card?
“If you’re a working journalist and you believe that Donald J.

You cover his opponent the same way. You become an objective reporter of the news and not a cheerleader for your own candidate.
Back in the ‘60’s TIME was conservative under Clare Booth Luce and anti-communist Whitaker Chambers was a columnist.
Journalists have NEVER been ‘objective.’
News papers always had agendas.
But, once upon a time, there used to be newspapers with conservative agendas.
The airwaves are different. According to the FCC news is supposed to be objective or else provide ‘equal time’ for opposing viewpoints. Needless to say, this has not been enforced. The closest this ever came to be enforced was against conservative talk radio...
The MSM is trying to link nationalism and racism together. So if you say you’re a nationalist then you are also racist by default. It’s what they do....
Trump is testing the New York Lies to see if even one printed sentence survives the liberal/Clinton/Obama/Soros tarbrush.
It’s funny, but I think you nailed my perception of what seems to be happening, but I had not really wrapped my brain around it yet.
It also fits with the one-world-government crowd who hate nationalism.
I think you are right.
Do you give her every utterance fawning praise because you, like her, are a budding young socialist (oops, I mean ‘progressive’) and so its OK if your side does it?
Or is it that you just don't believe any of those nasty things about the wonderful HilLIARy?

Yeah!
I remember how Big Media was all fair and balanced covering Romney vs. 0bama. Oh wait ... they weren’t.
Maybe it was McCain vs. 0bama? Nope.
Bush vs. Kerry? Bush vs. Gore?
Nope.
Dole vs. Clinton? Bush vs. Clinton? Bush vs. Dukakis?
Nope.
Maybe they were fair and balanced reporting Reagan vs. Mondale? Reagan vs. Carter?
HELL NO. They hated Reagan with a vitriolic, white-hot loathing.
Ford? Nixon? Goldwater?
Hah!
When have Big Media EVER been fair or objective?
NEVER, in my lifetime.
Nationalist is regarded as ‘fascist.
Nationalist is regarded as ‘fascist.
There are only two things that motivate people: Desire for a positive outcome and fear of a bad outcome. Desire is better than fear. And nationalism is better than fully open borders.
That is, until the Lord returns. Problem is, you just can’t trust powerful human beings. Power corrupts.
I see several Freepers had already answered your question.
It is the same coin the Left trying to lampoon all of us. They don’t care it is not about just Trump, their aim is for US.
So then why did they say all the same things about Bush and Reagan?
