Their whole framing of the story should acknowledge that he's an enemy of the United States. He got dozens of CIA assets killed, he supported our enemy in a shooting war that's still going on, and he tried to kill a bunch of politicians to seize power. Instead, they're treating him like a candidate for president. Every single newspaper should be running stories about what a catastrophe it would be if someone who's so clearly hostile to the United States managed to seize control of the United States government.

It's like those editors from World War 2 that wanted to tone down coverage of Hitler because he's a popular and successful leader. I mean, your statement's not fully objectively wrong. But also, objectively, you're missing the point.
