The media claims they must report on Donald Trump because he is simply news. This may be, but as so often in the media it is not what is reported, but what is not reported. And so often what are left out are context and background. Also, being left out is the whole truth.
For instance it was reported that overnight polls declared Donald Trump to be the winner of last's night's Republican debate ("The Hill" on line). The poll was conducted of only likely Republican voters. Apparently, anyone else who may have had the stomach to watch didn't matter.
What is scary is the amount of time given to Trump and the celebrity aura accorded to him in most of the coverage. America deserves the facts. Donald Trump is not qualified to be President, temperamentally, or by experience. What we need from the media is honest analysis of how this man came to be a part of the process of a major American political party's Presidential nominating process. And we need this "coverage" fast.
