How much does Donald Trump dominate TV news coverage? This much

Donald Trump's Republican campaign for president has received more nightly news attention than all the Democratic campaigns combined, according to a new data analysis.
~snip~
Between January and November, according to his data, Trump's campaign was covered for 234 minutes on the three newscasts. Jeb Bush's campaign was covered for 56 minutes; Ben Carson's, for 54.
The campaign for the front-runner on the other side of the aisle, Hillary Clinton, was covered for 113 minutes. (Coverage of Clinton controversies dating to her time as Secretary of State was counted separately, and totaled an additional 117 minutes, more than her campaign proper.)
~Snip~
He said Cruz and the #2 candidate on the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders, have been "noticeably under-covered," with Sanders getting 10 minutes of coverage on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news.

Yes, the 1970's when there wasn't a President until Carter, then decimated by the Moral Majority.

I wouldn't presume they're doing it because they want Trump to be president.

He's always underestimated here. Out in real life, you'd see and hear his popularity

It shows the DNC is doing nothing about voter registration, low turn out helps conservatives
