Michael Goodwin, New York Post:
The normal standards of the Times were that no reporter so biased should cover a candidate. But the New York Times decided to change the standard because of Trump. They all became ferociously one sided in their opposition to him as a candidate.
When Trump won, the Times issued a brief series of mea culpas about not correctly predicting the results of the election and then went right on with their biased coverage of Trump, becoming part of the resistance.
Since the Times is a bellweather, they provided an excuse for the rest of the media to follow suit. The result has been highly distorted, false coverage overall.
For example, nothing positive about Trump can ever be reported. Improvement in the economy resulting from his policies is not reported. Or if it is, the media tries to give credit to Obama. It's important to the welfare of the whole nation that the people get accurate information about the results of government policies, but this has become secondary to the mainstream media's goal of deposing Trump.
People are not fooled. When they learn how they are being lied to they become angry.
Once upon a time people could trust the New York Times to provide all of the relevant facts in a story even if they gave it a liberal bias. No more. Now days their reporting of what is going on in the White House is most likely completely false, made up lies laundered through anonymous third parties. And, again, any story that makes Trump look good never makes it into print.
And this doesn't just affect people on the right. Liberals, too, realize that they can't trust what the news media is saying after, for example, having been disappointed so many times over reporting about the next big thing that was going to take Trump down.
