news on our website, aljazeera.com. >>> hello, i'm richard gizbert, and you are at "the listening post", these are some of the media stories this week. we are focussing on north america. starting in the u.s. with the trump campaign. is it a media mirage made in media heaven. canada promise new life in c.b.c. turkey with an election coming, the media are feeling the heat. in july, a month after donald trump announced he'd run for the american president vi, the left of center huffington post took a decision that the coverage of tlump would go into the entertainment area. they said his campaign is a sideshow, but many have. the majority of the polls have been saying that trump is the front runner for the republican nomination, and gets more coverage than any other candidate. the relationship is symbiotic, he gets the exposure, and the outlets get the bombast, controversy and content, as well as the ratings. the 24 hour news channels are conflicted. the pro-republican fox news does not know what to do. rupert murdoch has never been a gan. unlike any other republican candidate trump doesn't thing what fox things or said. he scrapped with some of the biggest networks and aim away unscatheded.
