@JGW:

There IS NO "liberal media".
There hasn't been for well over two generations.

The reason why Democrats are ignored and Trump is beloved is because the owners of all the parent corporations are fans of Trump, and fans of corporate fascism. What they fear is outright dictatorial fascism, but THEY THINK that THEY can CONTROL him and prevent that from happening.

They see him as a ratings bonanza, which he has been, and they intend to milk it to the last drop.
And if he takes power they are perfectly willing to act as a functional source of mob revenue TO Trump and a source of media adoration to keep him happy and make him feel loved.

The country is a casino and they believe that they have the winning chips and they intend to collect.
