John McCain: McCain’s insult of Trump supporters last summer launched one of the now-infamous Trump counter-attacks. Trump persevered the Republican and media onslaught and refused the media demands to apologize. That distinguished Trump, in the minds of voters, from the usual pattern: politician says something, media and opponents demand an apology, politician apologizes. July 18, 2015, the New York Post claims “Trump Campaign Implodes.”
The Huffington Post: The liberal website hoped to damage Trump with its audacious announcement that it was going to cover his campaign exclusively on the entertainment pages. To Trump supporters, it confirmed their longstanding notion of the media as unfair and biased. The website was forced into an embarrassing reversal less than four months later. Aug. 21, 2015, The Huffington Post explains why it decided Trump was just entertainment…before deciding Trump wasn’t just entertainment: “HuffPost Explains Why Trump Coverage is Entertainment on Morning Joe.”
The News Media: The media initially gave Trump nonstop exposure believing that the more people saw of Trump, the more they would be repulsed by him. By the time they realized it backfired, they were so addicted to the high ratings that Trump provided, they were unable to cut the cord. Sept. 27, 2015, The Huffington Post declares it’s “The Beginning of the End for Trump: His Sarah Palin Moment.”

Sheryl Attkisson. Nice :)
Sheryl does a fantastic job. She is an amazing journalist and patriot. I bookmarked her website to show my support. She really is a grate American.
there’s a glaring omission in this article, in fact its the number 1 enemy helping him succeed: THE GOP-E!!!
There are fewer things more satisfying than seeing another leftist mouthpiece hoisted on their own petard.
Trump has all the right enemies.
I’m watching CNN and blithering idiot Hugh Hewitt says he thinks Cruz will be the nominee.
Media is promoting “too late to stop Trump?” meme.
That ship sailed earlier this week.
So few left.
Was that when he called us DODO birds, or was that a different time?
Don’t forget Cruz: Cruz’s (and his father’s) insults of Trump voters, Cruz’s buddy Beck wanting to stab Trump, Cruz’s employment of establishment Bushies and Tea Party haters, Cruz’s blaming Trump for the Chicago protesters, and all the deranged Cruzers everywhere (especially talk radio hosts) who are shoving their purist attitudes in people’s faces.
Absolutely the GOPe, including the hapless Mitt Romney and his doofus speech.
#1 by far is Univision and the beauty pageant.That’s launched his whole campaign.
I’m watching Linda retch as he announces his support of Cruz.
not everyone can get a bump from the Pope!
I’m going to turn off my local news station Channel 11 news on Fox 53, for biased reporting about Republican leaders meeting to deny Trump the nomination, Trump saying his supporters will riot if he’s denied the nomination, and House speaker Paul Ryan condemning the comments. The overall message is Bad Trump. Eff the news media.
It paid for his campaign too.
