Well, if you didn't have some in the media trying to put Trump into perspective, all you would have is Trump telling everyone how wonderful he is. It seems in general, a great number of Trump's crowd is incapable of differentiating between accurate assessment and negative slant.  Fox News is liberal and biased, say what.  And if the media hadn't been sucking up to Trump months ago, they would have put his feet in the fire regarding potential conflict of interest issues.  Just wait till one of his kids breaks the law. Ya think some invisible strings might get pulled? Short memories in this state regarding Palin & Stevens.
