Why is the Media so smitten with Donald Trump?

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.

The problem with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio

There are two problems with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio which has made it possible for a candidate like Donald Trump to possible snag the Republican nomination. The Republican party is in an unenviable position; they hate the candidate who will be representing the Republican party and the don't much like the alternatives - Ted and Marco. So what's a voter to do?  Supporting the alternative candidates does not seem to be working so far. Why? Well I believe Ted and Marco are more of a problem than Trump and here is why.

1) Both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio spent the first critical moments of the campaign fighting Barack Obama instead of Trump. In all their debates and meetings they insulted and  derided not only the sitting president of the United States but America as well. If you don't know any better you would probably think that under Obama the USA has become a third world country. The problem with this is that Obama is not running for president - Trump is. So it would seem that, unless they believed Trump could make a great president, they would have concentrated their efforts on stopping him long ago.

2) The other problem is likeability. You hear it all the time - talk about how hated Cruz is by the establishment and the "Ted Cruz is Crazy" talk that has flooded the internet. You have seen how little confidence in his abilities, Marco Rubio instills in he Republican voting public.
So who to vote for; one of the two candidates who border on the "boring" at times or one who offends every class of people in the Unites States and the world, a billionaire, an entertainer, and one with reported questionable business practices.  You see the dilemma? I gues many Republicans are praying for a "savior" today.
