CNN
In terms of the dubbed "Trump Tapes", with a simple Google search, the top results feature video coverage of the tapes themselves as well as one that features an interview with Arianne Zucker and Anderson Cooper, the woman who Trump discusses in the tape.
"The Trump tape doesn't matter"- An opinionated article that demonstrates the disparity in support between the Republican and Democratic Party through the use of language such as "Every dangerous and disgusting thing Trump says proves he's not fit..." and the blatant "Donald Trump is a pig".
However, with pieces not specifically designated as "opinionated" by CNN there is a focus on not just the content of the tapes but an emphasis on how Trump's campaign is affected by them.
"Woman in leaked Trump tape calls for kindness, respect" - Arianne Zucker discusses with Anderson Cooper how she wishes to achieve "kindness, dignity and respect" from the incident. The article continues to talk about how his boastful language about sexual assault has thrown his part and the entire political race into chaos, only emphasizing the mild disdain for Trump. There is even a link to an article embedded in this one titled "The say irony of what could propel the first woman into the White House" which describes how the race became a referendum on how much crass and coarse objectification of the women of America.
While Trump's apology video is played within one of the news segments, it is clear who the audience these reports are geared towards, most likely Democratic people who find Trump abrasive and destructive and in fact support Hillary Clinton as their candidate.
While the language of these articles mostly conveys a neutral stance, recognition for both side's opinions is lacking. There is mostly video coverage of those of the top of the Republican Party who are pulling their Trump endorsements such as Paul Ryan, House Speaker, but none that involve for example those who planned to stay by his side.
