Can't They Be Honest?

Tonight there's a debate among the top ten Democrat candidates.  It is being held in Texas.  Right now, there are planes circling above the site of the debate that are trailing message banners stating that Socialism will kill millions of jobs.  This is a sign placed by the Trump campaign.

So far, this seems pretty usual.  The Dems are advocating for Socialism and the GOP oppose it.  The GOP has a sign up that argues that point.  Low and slow flying planes pulling signs is an old political tactic.  Certainly, anyone who spend time at a beach has seen one of these planes.

So how is the media playing this?  Politico calls the planes a "devious" tactic by the Trump campaign.  Similar language is used by others in the mainstream media.  But why is this devious?  A billboard wouldn't be devious, would it?  A TV commercial wouldn't be devious, would it?

The truth is that anything that promotes the GOP position is "devious" by definition according to the left wing media.  It's one of the main reasons why no one believes anything the media says anymore.
