To the editor:

Jonah Goldberg states that one of the reasons Republicans are sticking by President Trump is because of the “increasing partisanship of the media.”

The mainstream media are not biased against Trump; they are simply reacting to the constant barrage of material that he provides. This is a president who has made more than 3,000 documented untrue or misleading statements since he has been in office. Because he does this on nearly a daily basis, the press reacts, as it should, on a daily basis.

To a staunch Trump supporter, the constant reporting of negative information comes across as an attack on Trump—when it is really just good journalism.
