A few days after New York Times media columnist Jim Rutenberg wrote a front-page piece about “[t]he challenge” of remaining objective when covering Donald Trump, he joined MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Friday morning to claim that despite Trump sucking up much of the media’s attention, the media have been able to aggressively cover Hillary Clinton and her many scandals. 

Co-host Mika Brzezinski had chimed in moments beforehand that she’s “comfortable” saying that she (and probably co-host Joe Scarborough) supposedly “predicted a lot of things that could happen” and complained that “you have this anger that you see on Twitter and people in our media community just bashing us for quote supporting” Trump.
