Couric: Media enabled Donald Trump

Katie Couric says TV news operations were instrumental in "enabling" Donald Trump's candidacy by affording him extraordinary airtime and allowing him to play by his own rules. "There was that period of time where it was wall to wall coverage, 90 minutes of his rallies, with very little editorial context. And I thought it was very difficult to ask him challenging questions on the phone because he was like a bulldozer," said Couric, global anchor for Yahoo News, told David Axelrod on "The Axe Files," a podcast produced by CNN and the University of Chicago Institute of Politics.
