Because he was (and is) a gold mine for the media. He gets them clicks, so why wouldn't they cover him?

Because journalists should have the best interest of the country in mind. They have a responsibility.
They didn't think that their coverage of him was helping him. They thought people would react to their coverage of him with shock and horror and vote against him.

I disagree. They knew their coverage was getting them eyeballs (and money), and didn't care about anything else.
