Trump goes to war against media | TheHill
?The press has declared Armageddon on Trump and Trump is responding with Armageddon and all-out warfare,? said Armstrong Williams, a conservative media investor and radio personality who is close friends with Bannon.
Trump benefited greatly from the media?s wall-to-wall coverage of his campaign during the GOP primaries, with one study finding he?d received $2 billion in free exposure as he ran roughshod over the deepest field of Republicans to ever run for president.
The rise of Trump also boosted the fortunes of media companies, which have enjoyed elevated ratings and web clicks.
More recently, however, the relationship between Trump and the media has soured as his poll numbers have plummeted and television anchors and reporters alike have taken an increasingly skeptical tone in their coverage.
The GOP nominee says he is running against a ?crooked media? that he believes is hell-bent on sinking his campaign.
