Yellow Journalism or Unbiased Reporting?

The Boston Globe created a hubbub over the weekend after printing a satirical front page predicting the chaos a Donald Trump presidency would bring -- but would not say if it planned to do the same for other candidates.

The page for the Globe's Sunday "Ideas" section was dated April 9, 2017 and featured a picture of Trump beneath a headline "Deportations to Begin."

They report, you decide, right?
 
Doesn't quite fit the definition of "yellow journalism" but yeah that's what it is. I call bull shit on:

"We plan to continue to publish rigorous opinion journalism about all candidates for the duration of the campaign. That’s the mission of an editorial page: to prompt debate and conversation," Ellen Clegg, editor of the editorial page, said in a statement.

The cynic in me says they had no intention of doing this to either Mr. Sanders or Mrs. Clinton, but since they claim they will do this on all candidates, they may do so now but put a good light on the liberal candidates.
