Ohio Gov. John Kasich blames the media's "fixation" on Donald Trump for his failed campaign for president. "I mean, I could be having a press conference and they’d have an empty podium with Trump speaking," on TV, he said. "What happened with Trump? How did Trump happen?" Scarborough asked. "I know why; the media gave him two billion dollars worth of free press," Kasich responded. "I mean, I could be having a press conference and they’d have an empty podium with Trump speaking there. I mean, look, you guys have a lot of responsibility for this. You know it too. You all know it, you know?" "One famous network executive said, ‘Well, you know, Trump may not be good for the country but he’s good for our ratings, and we make more money.’ I think the elites have let us down in a lot of places, and I think, you know, two billion dollars worth of free press? You couldn’t get enough of it," Kasich said. "I’m not talking about you, Joe, I’m talking about the coverage," he noted. "You were great."
