ML-Implode News - Why Hillary Clinton's perceived corruption seems to echo louder than Donald Trump's actual corruption

So what explains this disparity? I think there are two small things going on and one big one. A small thing is that Hillary Clinton has been ahead in the polls and more likely to be the next president of the United States. It's therefore not too surprising that she faces the harsher media glare. FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver noted the cycle of candidates leading in the pollsÂ facing more negative stories, which then narrows the gap with their opponent and switches the media glare to them. As Trump narrows the gap, I expect to see a greater focus on his corruption.
...
I think there's a bigger reason, however, and it's not Clinton-specific. Josh Marshall got at it somewhat in this post when he wrote, "Many reporters and editors simply take it as a given that Trump's a crook. So stories about Trump's corruption amount to what journalists call dog bites man stories -- not really news because it's the norm and wholly expected." Indeed, in the primaries Trump bragged about buying up politicians and promoted his tawdry brands in news conferences. So new reports about Trump ethical lapses and legal violations aren't terribly surprising.
