We all assume Trump will pivot his campaign once he has won the nomination in order to appeal to a broader coalition of voters. He will promptly disavow all previous statements and swear he never said that.
We also assume the likes of the today show will mock him mercilessly for this. Question is will fox, CNN, and the rest of the media do so too or will they carry on letting him call in and get free coverage without questioning what he says? |

Who cares? Barely anybody watches Fox, CNN and MSNBC. Those that do have typically already made their minds up.

There is a strong correlation between the amount of media coverage and polling. Do not so lightly dismiss the "it was the sun what won it" factor.
Have you seen the ads on there....all medical stuff for crusties, reverse mortgages, gold and silver investments and boner pills. |

I actually watch a lot of it just for the lolz. I often wonder whether Hannity gets eaten up inside by the relentless cycnical sneering he practices for hours and hours daily. It must be really hard to maintain such levels of consistent wankiness. |

Yes I understand this but the seniors that watch Fox News are very unlikely to change their minds. Especially given how utterly biased and unhinged a lot of the news coverage and commentary is on there.

I quite like Brian Williams and Rachel Maddow's election coverage. |
