Comedy Central's Trevor Noah went on a seven and a half minute rant against the news media on the 21 March 2016 edition of The Daily Show for their responsibility for the rise of Donald Trump: "The media loves Trump, because covering Trump makes the media money." Noah played up that "ABC's World News Tonight gave Donald Trump just 15 minutes less coverage than it gave Ebola — which is insane. Well, it sort of makes sense, because like Ebola, Trump goes viral...and makes you bleed from your eyes and ears."
