Austin Bay provides yet another column that demonstrates the worsening bias of the media. What is funny is that a member of the media, Howard Kurtz, admits the bias but seems to think it is a phenomenon related to Donald Trump. Bay gives a laundry list of bias through recent years. I particular enjoyed the point how Hillary can have the father of the Orlando shooter as a supporter and prominently visible at her rally and the media shrugs. However, David Duke endorses Trump and it becomes a media firestorm. The open, and even self-admitted bias, has arisen in recent years partly because of Jon Stewart and his fellow travelers. Rather than debate, they offered ridicule. Liberals are far too willing to view Conservatives/Republicans/Tea Partiers as evil and/or stupid. There is no engagement with their ideas beyond the most shallow misrepresentations. A generation has been marinated in this. Half the country suffers character assassination on a daily basis and yet those committing the libel are baffled why the country is so divided.
