Starting with a 6/13/16 report, Harvard's shorenstein school showed that trump obtained the nomination and presidency only because he was able to command so much valuable free media exposure. Of course, coverage of policy and Democratic Party was spotty and much lighter.
The report shows that during the year 2015, major news outlets covered Donald Trump in a way that was unusual given his low initial polling numbers—a high volume of media coverage preceded Trump’s rise in the polls. Trump’s coverage was positive in tone—he received far more “good press” than “bad press.” The volume and tone of the coverage helped propel Trump to the top of Republican polls.
The Democratic race in 2015 received less than half the coverage of the Republican race.
