Before Trump they dumped on Obama

Before that they dumped on Bush II and Chaney

Before that they dumped on Clinton

Before that they dumped on Bush I (I remember the ridiculous attacks on Quayle)

I'm sure they did it to Regan too, and Carter before that, and Ford before that.

But I would agree that any pretense of "balanced" or "fair" reporting got thrown out of the window with Trump. It's like they aren't even hiding their intentions anymore.

For some reason they don't seem to go after Biden to the same degree.

Before _that_ that, there was yellow journalism.

Before that, there were revolutionary pamphleteers.

The Trump hysteria was a reversion to the norm.
