Let me try putting it this way. I don't think Ted Cruz is all that different from Donald Trump, but if Cruz had gotten the nomination he would have been taken more seriously by the media, and his racist, xenophobic, policies would have been discussed like they were serious policy positions.
Cruz is a lot of things but racist and xenophobic aren't 2 of those things. His hard-right wing idealogy I think would have been a focus of the media which is fair in my opinion.

The media presents him this way because it gets them the best ratings
Well early on they did focus on Trump in the primary for the best TV ratings. The Billy Bush Tape clearly was a biased move by the media.

I used to think the BBC, DW, TV 5 Monde were unbalanced but they are AAA rating compared to Fox, CNN and MSNBC.
I stopped watching FOX a long time ago. CNN used to be right down the middle but clearly they are pro-Hillary or they dislike Trump except for that girl Kaliegh(I think her name is) and Jeffrey Lord. Van Jones I agree with him sometimes.
