Trump Sucks. The Media Sucks. It's a Tuesday.

My God they're all terrible.
This latest Chuck Todd sanctimony/tactic...facepalm.
Shrieking about Trump 24/7 hasn't achieved progressive political ends--largely because, bad as Trump is, the media always seems to exaggerate or otherwise get it wrong. People like me see the headlines and think JESUS, THAT JACKASS HAS REALLY DONE IT THIS TIME... Then we check what he really said or did and inevitably realize that, hey, it seems almost kinda somewhat ok by comparison. So, since misrepresenting what Trump does and also showing its readers/viewers what he really said/did hasn't worked out for them...I guess they've elected to drop the actual reporting about it. This way they can say OMG IT WAS HORRIFIC...and, well, look, if you want to check the veracity of our account, you'll have to go somewhere else. And if the rest of the MSM follows suit, it could turn out to be a non-trivial matter to disconfirm their account.
As usual, Trump's repulsive antics clearly demonstrate that he is anti-presidential. But, as Gillespie notes, the media's treatment of them is even more worrisome.
