Trump Has Torn the Mask Off the Liberal Media

Why does the media hate Donald Trump so much? There are all kinds of theories, but only one really makes sense: We are a country at odds over the most fundamental principles of ideology, economics, religion, race, culture, morality-even our own history.

The media is on one side of that metaphorical war, and President Trump calls it out.

By treating the media for what it is-a belligerent in the culture war-Mr. Trump has done it irreparable damage.

If people knew for a fact that the media were taking sides, the jig would be up.

The media would lose much of its ability to influence the outcome.

Though the Supreme Court confirmed his travel ban wasn't based on religion, many still refer to it as a "Muslim ban." And who could forget the evidence-free claims, repeated for more than two years, that the president was colluding with Vladimir Putin, or was himself a Russian agent? For four years, Mr. Trump has shined a piercing light on the media's bias.

In a real sense, the president has defeated the media.
