Well during the general election the Enquirer would constantly run stories about Hillary.

[quote] The Other Way the National Enquirer Helped Elect Trump
In addition to a secret agreement to bury the story of an alleged affair, the tabloid publisher AMI also published a stream of outlandish attacks on Hillary Clinton.[/quote]

These “stories” get picked up by the more mainstream media and Hillary would have to answer questions about these stories. The stories were a long the lines of do you still beat your dog? You know stories to increase negative perceptions of candidates. [/quote]

The people who runs these media outlets either wanted Trump to win or they are the dumbest people alive. There’s no other explanation for their behavior.[/quote]

They were only thinking of the ratings, click$, and controversy. They didn’t think he could win so it was totally fine to obsessively cover his sideshow of a campaign because people were interested!!!!! Free market baby!!!!!

In 2016 I was working at a place that often had cable news playing on the break room and lobby TV’s - not usually Fox News, even, it was a pretty even mix of Fox and CNN and the network morning shows if I was there early in the morning - and I swear half the time the news networks were covering a Trump rally. Just giving him critique-free, uncritical airtime. I stopped watching the Today show in 2015 because they would have Trump call in seemingly every morning and just let him rant and never push back or question. Then when he was actually elected in 2016 it was the worst thing ever and how could this happen, oh but now we’ll cover him critically and ask questions because that’s what’s getting ratings and clicks and public support now.

This is real answer here.  The media loved and still loves, covering Trump.  He brings the outrage and clicks.  For the past 4 years there as been a minimum of 4 articles per day in WaPo on Trump, sometimes topping a dozen!

It is all free advertising and the media won't admit they have been the ones keeping Trump alive.  [/quote]

And if Hillary had won it would have been 4 years of breathlessly covering her administration’s “scandals” + 4 years of WHAT WILL TRUMP DO NOW, where is Trump, are you running again in 2020/2024/whatever??? 4 years of his campaign rallies, 4 years of him calling into the Today show daily with his grievances. The media loves Trump because he brings the drama and the ratings. [/quote]
