On his Sunday show Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter brought out a panel made up a proverbial who’s who of Donald Trump opponents to whine about how the media are being “unfair” to Hillary Clinton and going easy on Trump. “All year long, I have been hearing one very specific description of the election coverage,” Stelter stated to start off the first segment, “No, it's not bias, but it's close, it's false equivalents.” Stelter insinuated that there was false comparisons being drawn between the two and that Trump is, “graded on a curve making it easier for him.”

The first person Stelter sought knowledge on the topic from was Jacob Weisberg from the liberal Slate, asking him what came to mind when he thought of false equivalency. “You know, the structure of covering politics is you compare an apple and an orange, they have different attributes,” Weisberg started to explain, “But they're both fruits, you can take your pick. This case we have something more like an apple and some rancid meat.”

“I’m sorry, is Donald Trump the rancid meat,” Stelter asked, while feigning ignorance. “He’s the rancid meat, and in all sorts of ways,” Weisberg responded, “And what I think the press is struggling with is “how do you not normalize him, but at the same time be fair and do your job as a journalist?””

The push back Stelter gave to that attack was barely a slap on the wrist. Weisberg doubled down and slammed the media for not being as unobjective as he is. “I’ve started my podcast because I think it’s so hard in most media to tell it like it is. Yes, I think Trump is rancid meat,” he stated.

Soledad O’Brian agreed that the media was trying too hard to make things equal saying, “I think it's the contortion to try to make things seem equal all the time.” O’Brien also complained that the media did not do a good enough job of repeating Clinton’s message that Trump was a white supremacist. When asked by Stelter if she believed Clinton’s argument she praised it, “[Clinton was] Almost like a lawyer, “here is ways in which he has actually worked to normalize conversations that many people find hateful.””

The whining by the un-Reliable Sources’ panel is completely laughable, especially when you look at the coverage from ABC, CBS, and NBC from the previous week. The “Big Three” pretty much did nothing but cover for the Clinton’s during their evening news programs, often ignoring stories broken that same day. They skipped over the discovery of 30 e-mails about Benghazi among the 14,900 e-mails recently recovered by the FBI. They also failed to mention that Clinton sent classified material after leaving office, and Bill Clinton’s abuse of a federal program for former presidents.
