Media calls for President's resignation? READ ALL ABOUT IT (then laugh or cry)

The media is finally tired of all the lying – they’ve called for the President’s resignation!  Did you see these editorials?

"He should resign because he has resolutely failed — and continues to fail — the most fundamental test of any president: to put his nation's interests first…[he lacks] both…courage and…character…" - USA Today

"[The President] should resign. He should resign because his repeated, reckless deceits have dishonored his presidency beyond repair." - Philadelphia Inquirer

"[The President] should resign and go home…" - Detroit Free-Press 

"A president more concerned with the national interest than his own preservation would realize that resignation is his only responsible option." - Atlanta Journal Constitution 

What, you missed these?  Really?  Well, you can’t be blamed.  They’re all 20 years old.  All of these papers (and 111 more) were calling for the resignation of BILL CLINTON.

To my knowledge, none of them have called for Trump’s resignation.  But let’s be fair, there are several differences:
  • Clinton’s inauguration was not under investigation
  • Clinton’s foundation was not under investigation
  • Clinton was not under investigation for being a foreign agent
  • Clinton was not under investigation by the FBI, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, nor the Attorney General for the State of New York 
  • Clinton’s lawyer was not in jail
  • Clinton’s campaign manager was not in jail
  • Clinton’s National Security Advisor was not in jail
  • Clinton’s Foreign Policy Advisor was not in jail

And so on.  And hey, I’m not the only one who’s noticed the discrepancy here.  The Hartford Courant, in an editorial, also recalled how they called for Clinton’s resignation.  In the op-ed, they said, “How quaint that notion seems now.”  They go on, “Mr. Trump’s parade of outrages — from saying he could ‘stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody’ and not ‘lose any voters’ to siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin over eight U.S. national security agencies on Russia’s interference in American elections — may have numbed the nation.”

I’m surprised they feel this way.  But I am not surprised at this – they have yet to call for Trump’s resignation.  No newspaper has.  The Philly Inquirer (quoted above) is another paper reviewing their call for Clinton’s resignation.  They say, “Exactly 20 years later, America is struggling to come to terms with a president whose tsunami of lies about matters both large and small have made Clinton’s Lewinsky lies look like a lonely mud puddle.”  And they lament the fact that no paper has called for Trump’s resignation.

But neither have they.  Why is that?  I’d love to hear your theories about this.  What’s different about the “liberal media” now?

He's been serving whoppers at the White House since the inauguration
