Wait, so because a political opponent identified him (and 2 others) as the weakest and most unpalatable candidates, that means media outlets were "instructed" to prop him up?

#conspiracy I hope you are rational enough to see the hilarious doublespeak being engaged in here: * Positive coverage of hillary is due to Hillary's cozy relationship with media * Positive coverage of her opponent, is due to Hillary's cozy relationship with media Come on man. I hope readers of this particular site are rational enough to apply occam's razor and think critically. I also find it extremely telling that Donald Trump, Mr Reality TV and the "hyper-successful" media and real estate man isn't responsible for his own success, but rather it's his opponent which is apparently so powerful that every single event occurring is by her design...? How feckless Trump appears in your "everything good or bad happening to both candidates was preordained in a conspiracy" viewpoint! Not everything is a conspiracy, I hope you're capable of rational thought.

  There's a dimension/axis of time involved in the pattern. At least some (substantial?) positive coverage of Trump before Republican nomination is due to Hillary's cozy relationship with media. I, for one, am also comfortable blaming the Republican electorate for allowing the three pied pipers, including Trump, to have been elevated. http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-press-buries-hillary-clintons-sins-1476401308 http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-press-buries-hillary-clinton...
