Academics at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy analyzed coverage from Trump’s first 100 days in office across 10 major TV and print outlets.

It found that the tone of some outlets was negative in as many as 98% of reports, significantly more hostile than the first 100 days of the three previous administrations:

In America they analyzed CNN, NBC, CBS, Fox News, the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.

They also took into account the BBC, the UK’s Financial Times and the German public broadcaster ARD.

Every outlet was negative more often than positive.

The picture was very different for other recent administrations. The study found that President Obama’s first 100 got positive good overall – with 59% of reports positive.

Trump has had a horrible time in office so far, including a personal press briefing where he just lashed out at the press.

Not sure how you spin an fbi investigation in a positive way.

some pretty interesting notes in that study

like this for example

this just illustrates that the media doesn't have to spin things, Trump does this to himself



also with as much as this board bitches about the "muh Russians", it only receiving 6% of the news coverage is surprising

There's no question the media has been after Trump from the jump. I actually really bothers me that he was never going to be given a chance.

That being said, Trump also brought at least 25% of that coverage on himself by acting like a damn goon.

Without Fox there wouldn't be the 2%!

MSM always hating on repubs.

Libtards always saying they deserve it.

Nothing new under the sun.

It's not surprising the regressives here are too dishonest to admit the MSM hates Trump.

I don't doubt it. The MSM has made their mission to torpedo Trump. They control the message in what they report as well as how they report it. It doesn't matter what Trump does, it will be spun negatively if it's reported at all. His bad actions will get days of coverage and his good ones will not get hardly a mention.

Yeah, it's like having a million AuggieDub's out in the world. Pansy arse lefties that only want to tear away at everything because their buttholes are still bruised and bleeding from election night.

I said it shortly after the election that I never thought I'd see the day where Fox News is without question the fairest and most balanced news network on television.

Part of the problem with political discourse today is people think that coverage of all sides and all candidates should be close to 50% positive and 50% negative. Trump's presidency has been one frick up after another. The fact that the coverage has been overwhelmingly negative reflects reality.

When news networks go out of their way to produce positive content about a candidate because they want to APPEAR unbiased, that IS bias.
