Michael Goodwin: The left-wing media created their own crisis and now have to pay the price for repeatedly attacking Donald Trump

Even as defeated Democrats try to decide who they are and what they believe in, their media handmaidens face a crisis of their own.
The comeuppance against their politically driven bias has arrived — and it’s proving to be expensive in more ways than one.
Large legacy outlets, such as the networks and the New York Times, earned their once-solid reputations because they set a standard of restraint, but they have thrown their reputations and standards overboard in their quest to destroy Trump and impose their radical leftist values on America.
The contradiction in calling him a Nazi and declaring him a threat to democracy while supporting Dem efforts to lock him up and keep him off the ballot would be laughable if the stakes weren’t so high.
And now the piper must be paid.
Unfortunately for them, Trump has the means and the will to fight back.
‘Press is very corrupt’
He also said Monday he was suing CBS for deceptively editing a “60 Minutes” interview with Harris and author Bob Woodward over a dispute involving audio tapes.
“We have to straighten out the press,” Trump said.
“The press is very corrupt. Almost as corrupt as our elections.”
He added: “I’m doing this not because I want to. I’m doing this because I feel I have an obligation to.”
Personally, I wish the suits weren’t necessary and that the owners and editors of big media would return to the era of strict standards of fairness and a clear separation between news and opinion.
But with the rise of an unrestrained social media, and with the intense hatred of Trump that is expressed by many leftist journalists being rewarded with Pulitzers and other awards, there are few reasons to hope change will happen quickly or even voluntarily.
Thus, Trump’s legal war may be the only corrective that has a chance of success.
What a pity.
