Did the media help elect Trump in the primaries, and will they hurt him now?

It seemed to me the media constantly talking about Trump gave him free exposure and helped his numbers. I agree a lot of the people in media lean to the left, so they often were talking about Trump negatively, but it still might have helped Trump. The media barely mentioned Kasich, and they were horrible to Jeb Bush in my opinion. Those two were two of the more rational candidates I think in the Republican party. Although, Bush had family legacy hanging over him.

Now, I feel like the left leaning talking heads might be happy Trump won the primary, because Trump might really do himself in at this stage of the game.

I feel like something changed, and now the “any publicity is good publicity” is not working as well for Trump anymore.

Do you feel a shift? Or, is it all in my head?

I think the debates will be the test.
