Trump's "Rehabilitation" & Media Double Standards

The last few days, the MSM has seemed enchanted with the new storyline of Donald Trump "rebooting" his campaign and shaking up his staff in the hopes of fixing enough of the issues that have plagued his campaign to (maybe) somehow eke out a victory in November. No less than NPR this morning is busy pondering whether or not Donald Trump can manage to turn things around in time to win November's election- or at least make it a tighter race with Hillary Clinton. Aside from the fact that the central problem with Donald Trump's campaign is, well........Donald Trump himself, it seems totally frustrating that the MSM is choosing to focus on whether or not Donald Trump can pull a win out of his hat in November- or at least keeping from vaporizing the Republican Party in the process of losing to Hillary Clinton.

I feel like, as in 2000, that the MSM had just gotten bored of the Clintons and the Gores and that George W. Bush- despite all of the evidence that he just wasn't up to the job- was a "shiny new object" and repeatedly gave him the benefit of the doubt, excused his "growing pains" as a candidate, and attempted to reassure us that he'd at least surround himself with competent people whom would keep his Presidency from being a natural disaster. Well, we all know how that played out.

Despite the historic nature of Hillary's candidacy, which the MSM seemed to have spent a whole five seconds on during the DNC, the MSM is spending most of their time fixated on Trump. While the man is obviously an embarrassing tweet-gaffe-a-minute machine and a walking trainwreck lumbering like a huge wrecking ball over our country, the MSM seems to be doing for him what they did for George W. Bush by breathlessly watching for signs of mental and emotional maturity from Trump while playing up Hillary's real and/or imagined negatives and, at least for me, the most frustrating thing is that they seem to be completely ignoring the fact that Clinton, like her husband and Obama before her, is a sane and competent public steward whom I would instantly trust to watch my own kids and have access to our nation's nuclear launch codes (if heaven forbid she ever needed them). Also, she hasn't had any serious crises in her campaign so far, let alone the need to "reboot" her campaign EVEN ONCE. Yet, we're supposed to be excited that Donald Trump can make it through a teleprompter-assisted speech (the Republicans better never mention teleprompters again when attacking Democrats!) without going off the rails and have a few days where he doesn't say something mean, insulting, embarrassing, etc.?

How far does the MSM plan on lowering the bar for Donald Trump?
