Why does the liberal media hate Donald Trump so much? He is after all a media and entertainment figure himself, and he's a proven "ratings magnet." What gives?
Pat Buchanan explains it a bit here: why-liberal-media-hate-trump/ Pat reasons it is because Trump has abandoned the religion of political correctness and refuses to kowtow to the media's self-righteousness. Instead of apologizing for verbal transgressions, Trump "doubles down," and in fact insists the media apologize to him. Priceless.
That explains it in part. But it overlooks a deeper problem the media has with Trump: that he is a traitor to the cause. By criticizing open borders and suggesting that mass immigration is not all unicorns and rainbows, Trump breaks from the media's One-World religion. Likewise, the conservative masses like Trump, and that simply proves he is unacceptable. Trump has been a reliable liberal all his life, so they feel betrayed by his defection.
This doesn't justify a conservative voting for Trump. I still half-believe he is a Trojan Horse in the Republican Party. It is only fair to point out that the man is not completely without virtue.
