Well the media is openly admitting that they need to change minds and convince people.
That's choosing sides, and that's not the role of the media or more specifically, the news.
Lol, if Trump essentially handed the Russians a target list, like Obama did, the news media would be more hysterical than they are now.
They are on some levels are doing a great job of making Trump a victim because case after case of hypocrisy by both the Dems and the media are being bright to light. The everybody is a hypocrite meme is no longer applicable because the hypocrisy is so over the top it just makes people dig in even further.
