I'm sorry but they also could not have happened without CNN and MSNBC. They are equally culpable, no matter that MSNBC is now trying to whitewash their own reputation.
MSNBC alone gave Trump over $2 billion in free airtime during the 2016 campaign, partially due to their explicit collusion with and co-option by the DNC but also because it made them rich in ad revenue to promote his campaign as the foil to Clinton's supposed hero. It's all there in the emails we weren't supposed to read, which they never denied the authenticity of, curiously.

Possibly, but most of that was not favorable information.

Oh, it was definitely not favorable in tone, but it begs the question of why, given the grand scope of it. In contrast, they effectively buried Bernie Sanders' campaign with a near-total media blackout, and he was the most popular figure in the race all among all candidates from both parties.
I will remind you of the empty podium shot which they did not cut away from when they could have been reporting on literally anything else in the world. MSNBC had a vested interest in Trump's candidacy, and later in railing against his Presidency, but the fact is that they were acting as an agent of the Clinton campaign throughout that election cycle and beyond. We later learned that the Clinton machine wholly subsumed the DNC and that the Clinton campaign WAS the Democratic National Committee. Full stop.
If ever there was a circumstance which would undermine democracy and completely interfere in our elections, this would be it.
The amazing thing is that the Clinton strategy backfired so spectacularly, though I suppose it should hardly be surprising given that she is one of the most unpopular and polarizing figures in American politics of the last 30 years, and perhaps they knew that and that's why they engaged in their "pied piper" strategy to begin with. Because we were all just supposed to be good little idiots and crown her queen.
