The Washington Post, the New York Times, MSNBC, CNN, and more are all pondering what to do: not carry them at all, or maybe just tape-delay them and edit out Trump’s remarks. After all, Trump’s already killed one man by going on TV and telling him to ingest fish-tank solvent his wife found in the pantry.

(Keep in mind that Hillary Clinton’s camp wanted Trump to be the GOP nominee, so the media did too.)
