I don't think so. They have given him far more interviews than other candidates to the point of it being an unfair advantage. This is whether it is Republican or Democrat.

Sounds like something Wolf Blitzer would say with his annoying high pitched voice.

Well, everyone wants to sucky sucky the stubby fingers. . . .

Did you know that CNN has much worse ratings than MSNBC? Yeah, I couldn't believe it either. But then it made sense why they would cover the Malaysia Airlines MH-370 around the clock for months. They would exploit anyone or anything that could get them the sorely needed ratings. Mr. Trump, of course, has been the ratings king since last June. Makes perfect sense.

Again:

It doesn't mean that they like him, it means that they like money. They hate Trump.

Of course it's clear CNN has more of a liberal slant, but it seems in their attempt to make Trump look bad they are actually giving him more publicity.
There is the saying that any publicity is good publicity.
People that are voting for Trump pretty much already knew what they were getting, he's not a Rubio, Cruz or Sanders that some people are still 'getting to know' . Trump has been in the spotlight for literally decades.

Trump has a huge advantage because he is not playing the politically correct game, unlike all the other candidates.

It makes me wonder if CNN and the other networks 'secretly' want Trump to win. I mean they are in the media business and he's obviously a big media guy always on TV with his own TV shows. Perhaps they think having a guy that "gets media" in the White House could be a good thing for them as corporations.

Of course to the public they have to put on the dog and pony show of "Look at how crazy Trump is , look how racist he is...etc"

The only real positive sensible Republican in the race right now is Kasich , but of course he doesn't have a chance.

I think a lot of Republican voters figure if they are going to vote for a jerk, might as well be one that is upfront rather than one trying to use this political correct type of rhetoric that people nowadays are mostly tired of.
People are tired of hearing the slick Lawyer types (Rubio , Cruz) ..I think a lot of people can see through that nowadays.
If it wasn't for Trump stories nobody would be watching CNN.

Both for and against him.
I could be wrong, I really don't watch too much of the "News" channels.
All this Trump sightings reminds me of this. Anytime I get interested in buying a car I keep seeing that car at every turn. So if you are obsessed with Trump, that is all you see.
