Clinton but their coverage allowed the Trump presidency to occur.

Exactly. Most people in print and television media were Clinton supporters, exclusive of networks and publications that more or less openly affiliate themselves with movement conservatism.

This wasn't hard to infer from their coverage. But that didn't produce a deluge of pro-Clinton propaganda.

Whatever their biases, media figures are professionals. They're looking to win views and clicks, not hearts and minds. Their coverage tended to be sensationalist, ahistorical, innumerate, and politically ignorant, but it did not persuade viewrs - and, with rare exceptions, was never meant to.
