The media was fairly neutral to Trump in the primaries and gave him tons of air time and once he had the nomination, they went all in on character assassination.
Fox and MSNBC were kind of on his arse (save for Sean Hannity of course). Fox tried to destroy Trump in the first debate to get him out of the race but that didn't work.
It was CNN that propped Trump up and until March showed all of his rallies live and unedited. CNN wanted Trump to win just so they could have a guarantee to win the general election. CNN gave him 2 billion dollars in free advertising just from the primaries alone. Meanwhile they explained (i.e. not show) why Hillary was so great and minimalized coverage on Bernie and gave all that to Trump. CNN deserves every bit of ridicule they get from our President, because they made him getting into office a certainty.

You're fricking kidding yourself if you think a loser like Kasich has the balls to fight them with the same passion, determination and energy that Trump had.
Which is why I would like a candidate who is ridiculously severe towards the Media, but unlike Trump, has actual facts and statistics to back up what he is saying.

That's because Fox is the mouthpiece of the republican party and orders came on down from the establishment.
I was a rabid Never Trumper at the time and I thought that was complete bullshite and the very definition of counter productive.
Saying it didn't work is putting it mildly, it backfired bigly and sparked a rebellion against Fox News that hurt ratings bigly and started the tailspin that destroyed Megan Kelly's career, and emboldened Trump and his supporters against the GOP.

Yep.
CNN's meltdown on election night was pure karma and sweet poetic justice.

Until such a candidate comes along, under no circumstances should milk toast republicans be the standard bearer at all. They are guaranteed losers that does not have the strength and determination to fight back against the media and leftist narratives.
Trump is the best we have right now in that regard.
