That is called being media savy for the record every network could have chosen not to give him all the time they did but they chose to. First and foremost because it got them great ratings and second they wanted Trump to be the Republican nominee because they were cock sure that would all but guarantee a Democrat victory in 2016. Trump knew exactly what they were doing and took full advantage of it the simple fact is he played them and did it brilliantly.Perhaps I'm remembering wrong but didn't Hillary outspend Trump by a pretty wide margin in 2016? Trump unlike Bloomberg was in the race the whole way starting Iowa and going all the way through the primaries he didn't sit the first three or four out and try and use tons of TV ads for super Tuesday. Trump succeeded in no small part by being able to use the media to his advantage and get them to give him tons of free air time and advertising.Tom Steyer has dropped out the race to be the Democrats Presidential nominee despite his wealth I guess he figured he wasted enough money on this maybe Bloomberg will be next.
Tom Steyer drops out of the 2020 presidential race
I'm not crazy about Bloomberg. In fact, I'm sick of millionaires buying elections: Bloomberg and Trump.
Only if you don't count all the free TV time he got from all the networks. He was such a clown till they all reported on him every day, so he didn't have to spend anything on advertising. They will still report on him every day, but they will point out his lies instead of just letting them pass like before.
