What "incessantly negative stories" about him? WTF are you talking about?
The man lies constantly. We all know that. I bet no one here bothers to read the stories about how whatever he has said most recently is wrong. But the press repeats what he says credulously, giving him the benefit of the doubt, so the occasional debunking has little effect.

However, the effect is much different. By giving Trump so much airtime, they've created a monster that sucks up all attention 24/7, which delights, galvanizes, and possibly expands his base.

Boy, it's almost like any bias on the part of any individual reporters doesn't really matter.
