It's an editorial, not a news article.   Is free speech only to be upheld for opinions we like?   

Donald Trump is a master salesman who's been splashed across media for decades.   Donald Trump is the perfect candidate for the decline of media into pure entertainment - for a public that prefers fantasy to reality.    

When people can't understand the complexity of large national/global issues (Foreign policy, international money policy, global environmental degradation, global labor market, etc), they gobble up the first idea that that satisfies their emotional needs of feeling impotent in the face of big problems.

All candidates have big ego's, I'm sure Clinton is equally ambitious.   I'm not voting for a salesman, but that seems to be what American politics has become, a 'package' that can be sold by the billion dollars image industry on K-Street.   Trump won't change that, his life is built on media illusions.  

 Love Trump, hate the media - really?
