Matthew Freitas: Who is The Bee to tell us that Trump isn’t worthy?

So, you have made it abundantly clear that you are really, really against the idea of President Trump. That’s fine. I’m generally Republican and find him to have tremendous faults. But, it’s quite unbecoming of you to lecture everyone from a place of either panic or smug condescension. There is a reason half the country may vote for him, and the reason is Hillary. I know you can’t imagine that. What is your place? The founder of USA Today put it best in 1970: “Your job is to give people good, solid, fair information. They can figure out what to do with it.” Sadly, the media no longer believe it.

Editor’s note: USA Today broke its 34-year tradition in 2016, rejecting Donald Trump on its editorial page.
