It should not come as a surprise to you in the first place, though.
Don't you remember the reaction of the media and the establishment when Trump won the nomination of the Republican party ? He was all around the news, specially on CNN attacking all the flaw they could get from him,.from.his unfortunate comments on touching women and the way he even refered to his political companions within the Republican party, he even mocked the looking of the view of his opponents for the presidency. Now things have escalated and the media is focusing as much as possible in the fact he is a felon now (assuming he losses his appeal). At this point one can feel the desperation of the Democrat party and the establishment behind CNN.
Though, I think it is still too early to call him a winner just because the attention he his getting. As I had already mentioned, within the Republican party there is people who do not like Trump and they would have preferred Nikki Haley to continue as the nominee, she could not do it and she did not endorse Trump.
It is up to them to decide.
