If Trump makes it to the White House, he will be forever indebted to the media in particular, MSNBC, CNN and FOX news. The love affair of the press with Donald Trump just gets stronger and more intense as the campaign drags on. Each time you turn on the TV to one of these "political" news channels, you feel you are entering "Trump castle" where Donald Trump is the King and all his servants(the media) are pandering to his every need, hanging on his every word and trying their best to cover up any Trump misdeeds that may be uncovered.
Trump gets top billing, more air time, more positive commentary than any other contestant in the Republican race. When Mitt Romney's speech aired denouncing Trump, it was immediately overshadowed by a sharp focus on Hillary Clinton's Email - what they termed "breaking news" . Reports on violence, hate, the KKK and assaults at Trump's rallies are brushed aside and quickly smothered. Is the media in bed with Trump? Does Trump own the media?
When I think about the media's relentless attack on Obama during his previous presidential campaigns over minor issues I cringe. Donald Trump on the other hand, appear to get accolades for his insults of women and minorities and his fellow Republicans.
I now switch channels each time I tune in and the media is talking Trump which is 99% of the time it would appear.
