      2. The media didn't create Trump -- it's not that creative. Trump created Trump.

      3. But I think Trump is effectively running a media-only campaign that is designed to exploit weaknesses in the media

      4. Trump knows the media is always hungry for a new story. So he says whatever it takes to create one.

      5. (This pattern has become so repetitive, however, I do not think Trump is a boon for media anymore. He's quietly very difficult to cover.)

      7. The media prizes access, so Trump shamelessly holds it up as a prize to be earned from fawning coverage. (Hannity is the winner).

      8. Trump also exploits the media's need for something new by repeating the same lies again and again. Eventually, people move on.

      9. So while the media didn't create Trump, it's worth thinking how to make the media less susceptible to a Trump-like figure in the future

      11. Saying anything that comes to mind and then bashing the media won Trump a loyal following but appears to have limits

          They gave up resisting, and their desire of a horserace even pushed them further to spread lies about Clinton
