Horrifying:

The Donald: Almost half of all conversation last week on social and regular media was about him

Or maybe not quite that bad:

According to Zignal Labs, the Washington Post’s analytics partner, 48 percent of all the conversation about 2016 – across social  and regular media – was about The Donald last week.

(My bold.)

The lesson is clear: if you want people to stop talking about that real estate guy with the funny hair, you'll have to stop talking about 2016 for a while, preferably until it actually is 2016 and the guy with the funny hair has safely disappeared, as he certainly will.
