Setting aside the relative merits of the Wikileaks revelations (for Clinton) and the sexual assault allegations (for Trump), I’m willing to stipulate that the media is opposed to Trump becoming president. He hasn’t won the endorsement of a single major newspaper in the country. He’s shown no respect for reporters and has encouraged his supporters to jeer and intimidate them. He wants to use libel laws in an unconstitutional way. When he has sat down with editorial boards, he’s been nonsensical at best and frightening at worst.

The media as a class of people and as a self-interested industry, is completely opposed to Trump.

But, the key is, they have good reasons for this, and they aren’t wrong.
