No offense, but you’re missing what’s going on. It’s going right over your head. The msm are shills for the Democrat party. They try to destroy the Republican they fear most, by whatever method that works, whether that be by starving him for air time or trying to smear him. The msm tried the latter approach with Trump when he came out with his strong immigration policy. The only problem is, it backfired. He didn’t back down like they expected. He hit back, spoke directly to the people, and won them over, and attacked and discredited the media in the process.
They initially gave him air time to try and make him look ridiculous, but instead of that happening, he used that air time to expose them and damage their credibility. He stuck to his guns, the people started to support him, and the media was left scratching their heads.
Add to that whole dynamic, the fact that in spite of their initial adversarial stance with Trump, they enjoyed the ratings boost he was giving them. He’s actually won some of the media over by rewarding them with interviews while snubbing some of their rivals who did not treat them fairly. So, he’s exploited the competitive dynamic that exists in journalism. Besides being biased and motivated by ratings, they’re also people too. When members of the media treat him right, he treats them well, invites them on his plane, lets them feel like big shots. After 8 years of being treated with disdain by the very President they did everything they could do to elect, a lot of them, on a personal level, appreciate the change.
No offense, but that is a grossly simplistic analogy failing even Occam's razor.
