I love the way WaPo has been covering Trump's "campaign," if you want to call it that.

They cut him no slack whatsoever. Pointing out inappropriate behavior, fact checking every lie, all his ugly history exposed. Jeff Bezos seems to have a personal vendetta against him! Hmmm...

For instance, they were the only ones I could find really getting into the specifics of the BS claiming he didn't mean what he obviously meant with his "second amendment" comments.

needlessly and foolishly attacked him. He did the same with Bloomberg and Cuban, all men who are far wealthier than he is. All have big megaphones. The first two own powerful media outlets.
