It seems their main focus is TRUMP did this or that today. Some new "outrage" everyday.
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.

Yes their Trump coverage is disgusting.

I have believe for many months that they have a pact with Trump.

It is CNN who has been beating up Trump over the non-disavowal disavowal. If that is what you mean by a Trump network then you are correct.

No surprise. It is the Clinton News Network, after all. Now that Bush is gone, Trump is the easiest candidate for her to beat. Although I hope we don't get the chance, it will be fascinating to see how coverage of him changes after the nomination.

Like 7 months ago.

TNN is the right name. Maybe if Trump wins he can use TNN to give us 3-4 speeches like the Castros did in Cuba. After all Trump wants to control what the press says about him.

The establishment must be really afraid of Trump, they have been working overtime trying to spread as much misinformation, and lies as they can (uncoincidentally) right before super Tuesday. They know if/when Trumps wins big today, they won't be able to stop him.

It it truly sad to see just how corrupt our political process has become.

Yes both for the positive and the negative. He's had a LOT of interviews with them, even so far as his wife.

I'd have to say FOX is the Trump network. Watching Hannity fawn over him last night just wasn't possible for me. I had to turn the channel after 10 minutes of watching the hero worship. I'm pretty sure the entire hour was dedicated to electing Trump.

CNN has been Trump heavy since the first illegal immigrants comment. It only got worse as the primaries drew closer.
