The first thing to go in a nation that is no longer free is the press. Dictators don't like criticism and prefer to monopolize the messaging their people can hear.
It seems to me that conservatives will accept no criticism of Donald Trump and would go to any lengths to dismantle the ability of media organizations to do so.
Sure, they say that they just don't like the "liberal media" and would accept one that is "fair"...which I take to mean "doesn't criticize Donald Trump."
Look, I don't like Breitbart, FOX, or Infowars, but I support their right to continue to exist, because I think that we're overall better off with a press corps capable of asking questions independent of government than without it.
I see no indication that Donald Trump has any respect for the role of a free press in our society, and I genuinely believe he would dismantle it entirely if he could. Do conservatives understand the value of a free press not beholden to a President, or do they really wish to do away with it?
What we have in America is a press that will place any Republican under the microscope but continually make excuses, promote, and even collude with liberal politicians
Sorry if you don't get why some don't like that, and trust in media is at an all time low
IMHO, this is a a double-standard shared by conservatives and liberals alike. With Trump it is just more extreme because he targets the press and basically invites his followers (which are not exclusively conservatives BTW) to attack the press and to not believe anything negative they say about him.

When Hillary did that crap with her emails and the server... Did the press cover it extensively? Or did they sweep it under the rug?

Definitely did not cover it up anywhere close to the amount of one they focused on Trump. Most people I know had idea about the details of the email server

I don't even worry about "getting why some don't like it". I'm still marveling why people are stupid enough to believe it in the first place.

Seems you have a selective memory, so let me help you out. It was covered to death, as it should be. It probably cost her the election. And I recall a lot of investigative articles into her foundation as well. I can do the Google searches for you and show you all the stories. So why didn't the liberal press instead collude with Hillary to suppress it?
Tell me one thing that is acceptable to criticize about Trump.

The liberal media never reports what Trump has done for the American people.. they are too busy on a witch hunt trying to find a crime or collusion which is not even a crime.. they have been on the same story line for months and months.. fake news networks.
