For a major news network to devote almost 100% of their media horsepower to burying Trump is doing America a great injustice. Why not put that effort into finding objective subject experts to inform the public on the state of healthcare and how to fix it, if we can, the tax cut we are sure to pass with bipartisan support and how it is going to affect future generations after a short term boost to economy. Is the federal debt ever going to hurt and if so when, etc etc. But the constant rail against Trump with "expert guests" coupled with lead in questions supporting CNN's effort is hurting the country. Does the media have a responsibility to truly educate public or just try to sway them to a certain point of view?
Gotta tell you. Trump controls it.

If he really had serious conversations on healthcare...guess what ? CNN and everyone else will cover it. Same goes for any issue, all of which he puts on the back burner so he can malign someone.

As to the hurricane, it goes with the territory..Bush/Katrina....OBama/Sandy etc etc.

It is what it is. But to your main point, once trump decides to talk issues instead of attacking, the coverage changes.
