For example, it's highly likely that clinton, bush, or obama staff and cabinet members were not explored by the media.
marty,
Previous "staff and cabinet members" from "Clinton, Bush or Obama" were professional or near-professional individuals.
trump has surrounded himself with a bunch of clowns in his administration !
For example .... who on Earth would put Ben Carson in any position within your administration ?
If you have so many un-professional people, and if the leader (trump) himself is a disaster, of course you are going to see more scrutiny from the media.
PERIOD.
It's as if you are asking us : "why is water wet" ?
