You mean apart from the highest-rated cable channel, the largest TV station operator[2], and the second-largest daily newspaper, in the US?[3][4]

The percentage of journalists that identify as Republicans is in the single digits: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/05/06/ju...
> Among the United States' 100 largest newspapers by paid circulation, 57 endorsed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, while only two, the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Florida Times-Union, endorsed Trump. Four (the Chicago Tribune, the Detroit News, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and the Charleston (South Carolina) Post and Courier) endorsed Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, while three other newspapers (USA Today, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel) specifically discouraged their readers from voting for Trump.
To put that into perspective: even though reporters are 83% white—they are 1/5 as likely as whites in general to identify as republican. Asian, Hispanic, Muslim, and LGBT people are all twice as likely or more to identify as republican than journalists.
Really? Would love to have a citation for this. This is a fact that could come in handy.
I'll make a prediction. Next Tuesday, Trump will dominate the news cycle. And next Thursday. And the one after that. And every day in between.
What does this do?
- Keeps everybody talking about Trump. All the time. - Every outrageous statement has some grain of truth in it. It makes people talk, and give him a slice of benefit of doubt. - Absolutely takes every ounce of air out of the room for his political opponents. Nobody is going to hear much about their ideas.
It's the new-style of politics. And it worked through the Republican primary, then the general election. Against long odds and a monetary deficit in each. Better get used to it. The media falls for it, Every. Single. Time.
In reality, attention is his only agenda. Narcissism in it's purest form.
Also, I disagree that there is always a grain of truth in his tweets. He's an unintelligent bigot slowly losing his mind to old age and disuse.
Any grains of truth are purely happenstance.
