I wouldn’t say Trump took complete control. When the debate gets 12 million viewers and his show gets a 2 million bump on other networks, that’s less than complete control. Perot was also a major phenomenon in his own right for a fair amount of time.

The media WANTS Trump to be in control now, during the primary. The Dems want to run against him and the media wants to drown out the GOP candidates who are polling better. This will all change in the general election when the media will work to make Trump the most hated figure in America.

Shades of the msm's convenient pre-general election "love" for John McCain.

I didn't say he controlled the media. He controls the narrative...and even then, not absolutely, just significantly greater than any other individual or candidate.
