7:20Now PlayingCorporate media has been largely pitching softballs during interviews with Donald Trump. The most difficult question he’s faced may have been Megyn Kelly asking about his vulgar comments toward women, which is personality issue not a policy issue. Is the media not smart enough to challenge his factually wrong statements? Or is “The Ratings Machine” just too lucrative to risk upsetting?

CNN’s Trump special came in second place at 9 p.m. with 369K in the 25-54 demo and 1.144M total viewers. Fox News’ The Kelly File, with guest-hostMartha MacCallum (who didn’t have a Trump interview), remained solidly in first place with 513K in the demo and 2.558M total viewers.”*
