Trump gets nearly 10 times TV network coverage of all GOP candidates: The nation's Big Three networks have lavished news coverage on flamboyant Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, one of the latest to get into the race, according to a review of nightly broadcasts dating to January 1.
The conservative media watchdog, the Media Research Center, found that Trump has received about 10 times the average amount of airtime given to the other 16 candidates combined, with the last one to get in, former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, still waiting for his first second of coverage.
The CBS, ABC and NBC evening newscasts have already dedicated 116 minutes of a total of 315 minutes to covering Trump, the real estate mogul leading the GOP primary race by a wide margin. The remainder, when divided by 16, is about 12 minutes each.
