jcpro: I think a more accurate interpretation of the media's reaction to Trump is that they could not believe that a person so manifestly unqualified for the job could possibly be considered a viable candidate.  Clinton has her faults, to be sure, but at least she is qualified through her years in government.  To support a qualified candidate against an unqualified candidate does not make the American media "beholden to the Democratic Party".  To cover Trump is to reveal, on a daily basis, the man's continued incompetence.

I will grant you, though, that the American and Canadian media have still not quite figured out the discontent felt by so many in both countries and that put Trump in office.
