Every paper in America should change motto to “There’s no polite way to say this” … and go to town

Donald Trump’s free-association platform is indeed difficult to cover.

"It’s like trying to pin down a rabid orange squirrel, running on his self-proclaimed business acumen, who’s strangely shy about disclosing his tax returns but really wants to show you his nuts.”

To do it with any integrity you need to forget “All the news that’s fit to print” New York Times, and “America’s Newspaper,” The Washington Times.

For the duration of this election, every paper in America should just change its motto to “There’s no polite way to say this” … and go to town.

1. This was in my local paper this morning - above the fold:

"As Trump gives up the 'birther' lie, we're left to wonder why he lied. He falsely blamed Hillary Clinton for it on Friday." The article actually originated with the NYT but it was nice to see it on the front page, and with the word "lie" so frequently repeated. http://www.startribune.com/analysis-as-trump-gives-up-the-birther-lie-we-re-left-to-wonder-why-he-lied/393792851/
