Happy still to publish your opinion even if I disagree. I appreciate you not getting at all hostile on any of my replies ever.

Why do you necessarily assume there's something to read into in the fact that Medium has an anti-Trump bias? Intelligent and creative people tend to skew liberal to begin with, but there are few candidates in modern history that are as objectionable and polarizing as Trump.

I think there are so many negative articles about him because he's done a truly gargantuan amount wrong and the fallout is entirely deserved. I don't think it's different really than what's happened with most the media. Trump gave and continues to give the media a constant shitstorm worth of events to cover, and then news sources get criticized for just reporting what's literally happening.

At what level of awfulness is this amount of coverage justified? Not to throw around the term "gaslight," but it sort of seems a bit like you're doing that here. Don't criticize the people reacting to Trump, criticize Trump for constantly doing things that spur reactions. There's more anti-Trump content on here because there's more objective reason to be anti-Trump.
