They write about how Trump would be the end to freedom of the press yet after maybe a week completely ignored where the Obama administration was charging reporters with espionage.
I don't think it's accurate to say they completely ignored Obama charging reporters with epsionage

I said after a week.

Heres one of their more recent pieces

Nevertheless, at this moment, although the administration may still wind up as one of the better ones of the sunshine era,


Do you think if Donald Trump had as this article states

quote:

The Obama administration also has prosecuted more leakers under the Espionage Act than all other administrations combined.

Including REPORTERS WHICH THIS ARTICLE FAILS TO MENTION they would say his was one of the most transparent?

do you think they would make excuses such as

quote:

would not be fair to give all the blame — or credit — to Obama himself. The federal government is filled with thousands of bureaucrats, who make countless decisions that never enter the White House’s orbit.



Hell no. They dont do so and it hasnt even been 6 months in office much less 7 years.

They wanted Obama to be great and he was mediocre. They hate Trump because he represents the things that they look down on+ he beat their chosen one so they will do everything they can to paint him in a negative light.
