I appreciate that Mr. Rutenberg is in journalistic turmoil about how to cover a nominee he hates and believes is dangerous.  But he loses me early on as he decries the lost balance in journalistic coverage.  If Mr. Rutenberg, his editors, and the people who decide what gets covered on the 24 hour news cycle had given as much time to Trump's opponents during the primaries as they gave to the daily crazy junk Trump spewed today, they probably wouldn't be so tormented now.  

Honestly, how much time does it take to report on just one thing said  by Bush, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, Carson, Christie, Fiorina, Graham, Paul, et. al?  Seriously, the major newspapers and networks couldn't send one newbie journalism grad to cover each one and then print/put on the air one thing they each said in a 24 hour news cycle?  It's not like candidates have a different speech every day.  The media could have spent a little bit of time telling Americans what Trump's opponents were saying.

Crocodile tears.
