The MSM, bless its heart, is still fundamentally a (classical) liberal institution, with notions (illusions?) of non-sectarian alignment. When a norm-breaker like Trump appears in the electoral lists, the MSM doesn't really have a ontological category for him. He is still "Mr. Trump," a putative normal candidate that accepts the rules of the game.

To the NYT, Hitler was usually "Herr Hitler," even into 1940.
