I'm Canadian, but if I were in the US I would be voting for Hillary. That said, I actually agree with you. I think most members of the media are understandably anti-Trump, but that bias is definitely coming through in the reporting. In my opinion, that does their cause a disservice. Simply factually reporting on both candidates should be sufficiently anti-Trump given his many transgressions. But when you regularly see blown-up stories like the kicking a mother and baby out of a rally, told in a clearly biased manner, it leads people on the fence to discount everything the media says about Trump, which results in him getting away with far more blatant lying that he otherwise might.

There's nothing at all wrong with this article in a vacuum, but there does appear to be a bias in article selection. (Although I suppose that some of that must also be simply because 'Trump' sells newspapers (or clicks or what have you.))
