You lump "mainstream media" together like it is some monolithic enterprise. It is not.  Our Nation's free press, so essential to Democracy, is not, and has never been, against "the government." Trump brings this heat on himself with his childish and pathological behaviour.  He is an embarrassment to us all, and a very real danger to world peace, the global environment and American independence.  He cannot tolerate any kind of criticism. He clearly hates and fears women, especially strong intelligent women, and when he can't get his way, he rants and raves like a spoiled child.  Not surprising, given his childhood. Not exactly the sort of person we want anywhere near the launch codes.
