Let's leave comics out of it for now. Of course they bash trump, its what they do. So instead, lets just talk about TV news for a minute.

Can you send me a link to a youtube video (or embed one here), of any TV news anchor, bashing Donald Trump, for something he did not say?
You don't understand, it's not black & white like that. Let me explain:

The media I mean are the ones with big corporations behind them who support Clinton, Like CNN, MSNBC, even shows like the Daily Show, which has such an obvious agenda, packaged as 'comedy'.

Here's an example: I, as an outsider, wanted to check if there was any big news in the world a few weeks ago. I thought, let's check CNN.com... The front page was literally 90% Trump topics, and they ALL head a negative headline.
1 topic about Clinton... and that one had a neutral headline.

Let me explain how propaganda works, in this case about Trump:
Yes, lots of times they pick things he did say.
Because propaganda isn't spouting blatant lies about someone, that's of course very inefficient. If a channel was purely making 100% up, nobody would watch it.

The way propaganda works is simply blowing up anything stupid, dirty or negative about Trump (how irrelevant or small it is doesn't matter) and repeat it constantly. Keep Reminding people 24/7 about it (indoctrination). And in many cases it's getting spun completely out of context as well, like the preposterous claim that Trump is racist, because he said something about ILLEGALS, NOT Mexicans in general. The 'machine' latches on to this, spins it, and breeds a fabricated idea with a juicy 'racist' triggerword loosely based on something that wasn't racist at all.

Now look at Clinton. Her sins are much, much bigger than Trump on the scope of human rights, wars, and having a government job but cashing in and doing things big corps pay her to do. Trump said 'grab em by the pussy'. Clinton orchestrated wars to replace dictators who didn't wanna work for the US anymore, so they get replaced by a US puppet. Death, destruction, refugees. Clinton Cash. Benghazi. Emails. Wikeleaks reveal how she hates 'everyday people' etc.

These extreme things, 100 times worse than anything Trump has done, gets mentioned 1 time with a neutral headline. Nothing more.

That's the difference, and that's how propaganda works.
