LZ Granderson: Trump was just arraigned on federal charges. The media are already getting it wrong

Donald Trump is in legal trouble again. But then, he has been in legal trouble my entire life.

Starting with the Nixon Justice Department's housing discrimination lawsuit against his company back in 1973, Trump had been involved in more than 3,500 legal disputes before he even moved into the White House. Yes, some — such as the complaint against a tenant for not paying rent even though he had — were frivolous, but many, like the one brought by the Justice Department, weren't.

All of which should have been a red flag for the media. But it wasn't.
