The other side of that, imo, some of the media also has the same tendencies towards narcissism and they won't let up on any criticism, as if they're the bastions of truth and justice. Even when it's rightfully given. Mainly cable/network news has this issue. (And I do feel like that's the "lens" he sees most media through.)

...I think it’s a bit of a can’t win either way situation for the media though..it is a very bad combination for a narcissist but then by definition of being a narcissist he would always find that ‘confirmation’ from some source, in some way because it is all in his mind, from his perspective...and I also understand why the media keep feeding him as it were...because being a narcissist is all well and good but not if you have so much power over people’s lives as he does...they also cannot not comment continually as it’s far too important..to the world really..so it’s a visious circle and cycle etc...The media could ‘ignore’ more...but narcissism with extreme power as he has, would always find a way, I think...
