    : Negative News Coverage Is Proof Of Bias That Harms Broadcasters, Not Trump

    The entire country knows the press is biased and that they LIE incessantly


    It seems that liberal journalists aren’t much different from Democrat Party staffers — both get paid to downplay and divert attention from any and all good news about President Trump.


    According to the latest study from the Media Research Center (MRC), news coverage of President Trump on the ABC, CBS, and NBC evening newscasts was 90 percent negative and just 10 percent positive in 2018, excluding neutral statements and comments from partisan sources. That’s the same ratio MRC observed in 2017, suggesting that the major news networks have not toned down their hostility toward the President since his inauguration two years ago.

    “As has been the case since the President took office, the tone of network coverage has been exceptionally hostile, ranging from 82 percent negative in April 2017 ... to 96 percent negative in February 2018,” MRC observed.


    MRC is not the only watchdog to document the clear political bias in contemporary journalism, either.



    According to the liberal-leaning Pew Research Center, 62 percent of the news coverage of President Trump's first 60 days in office was negative, compared to just 5 percent positive coverage.

    Pew reported that coverage of President Obama, comparatively, was skewed in the exact opposite direction during his first 60 days, when only 20 percent of news stories were negative — a truly stunning contrast for a profession that claims to abide by objectivity.


    Pew’s findings are backed up by data cited in The Washington Post conceding that, neutral statements excluded, news coverage of President Trump has been about 80 percent negative — double the 41 percent negative coverage of Obama.

    Two things sell news today, sex and lies. Proving once again, truth is not the final goal of the news, it is profit.

    Trump started out by lying about the size of his inauguration crowd and just kept lying.

    I'm totally shocked that the $#@! got negative coverage.

    So unfair!

    Sad!

    Covfefe!

    Is this what you want out of your free press? Slanted coverage? Really?

    All coverage is slanted. If one is intelligent, one recognizes the fact and makes allowances for it by getting news from a variety of sources.

    If one isn't, one rails about the slanted coverage while calling the slanted coverage they agree with the *truth*.

    Questions?

    90 -vs- 20 isn't slanted. It's collusive.

    Then, man up about Obama's coverage Uranium One? Wasn't that slanted as well? defended by the press
    Fast and Furious... Holder, Obama. Completely ignored by msm press
    Mueller's. Obama's, Clinton's involvement with Uranium one? Ignore by msm press (That is where collusion with Russia lays)
    How about the coverage of H. Clinton's private server? Wasn't that slanted as well? defended/ignored by the press
    How about K's hearing? Wasn't that slanted? attacked by msm press
    Anything Trump? Everything attacked by msm press
    Meeting on the tarmac: ignored by msm press
    Your position is hypocritical

    Maybe the news coverage would change if Donald Trump would stop lying and doing stupid stuff?

    Just a thought

    Listing every stupid thing Donald J Trump has done and said would take all the bandwidth on the Internets.

    I won't be selfish like that ;-)
