Yes, Trump does get an extraordinary amount of media that he doesn't deserve. But.....

...despite all that, he essentially squanders it by being his deranged self and doing the things only he does. What we see now is the manifestation of his psyche on display.

Yes, I'd love if the media covered more of Hillary's policies and substantive matters. But it's not like the Madman's doing himself any favors with the press he's getting.

The more that the media obsesses over Trump, the less tolerable he becomes to reasonable people.

The 24-7 coverage may actually backfire and help improve HRC's favorables.
