Observers note a decline in viewership, suggesting that their criticisms and framing of Trump-led events may be divorced from audience appetites.

Accusations about the network fostering hysteria about Trump reflect a suspicion that the corporate media are entrenched in a negative narrative that lacks objectivity and constructive criticism.
