What's behind Trump's attacks on the media before the US midterms? Plus, Trump and the Christian Broadcasting Network.

On November 6, Americans will vote in midterm elections which will be seen as a referendum on Donald Trump's presidency. So, it's fitting that one of the major issues before voters is the institution President Trump can't stop talking and tweeting about - the news media.

The stories monopolising the US airwaves as Americans head to the polls are: the coverage of the migrant caravan from Central America and the pipe bombs sent to CNN, among others - developments with significant media angles to them.
