Editor: Your paper and the rest of the media are so biased towards trump it makes me want to throw up. Your front page headline reads: "Trump falsely blasts 'rigged trial'" (June 1). It's funny how the rest of the country that has a brain can see this for what it is.

Trump will prevail regardless of the stupidity of this paper and the media bias. 💬
