To the Editor:
Your article conceals an unfortunate reality of much of the contemporary media and liberalism: a basic distrust of democracy. Through the process of democratic elections, a significant plurality of those voting in the Republican primaries selected Mr. Trump as their preferred candidate for president. This was democracy in action.
If objective journalists truly believed in the fundamental principle of a democratic form of government, they would be respecting this choice and would be performing their job of objectively and fairly presenting the facts concerning both candidates and letting the voters decide. But as this article makes clear, many journalists cannot bring themselves to be fair, balanced and objective. Instead, they believe that they know better than the people, and are unwilling to provide just the facts and let the electorate decide.

Note from KBJ: And now you know why journalists are held in such low repute. They've become partisan, which, by Keith's Law, undermines whatever authoritativeness they once had.
