re: To what do you attribute the overwhelming negative media coverage towards Trump?

I'll try...
At the very beginning, Trump was declared a genius because he stole the limelight and media time. All we heard was "all press is good press", no matter how bad it was. Trump got literally billions of dollars worth of free press for using this tactic. Be crazy, boisterous, scandalous, but have a message. It worked.
Build a wall, but call them murderers. Preach repeal and replace, but call what we have a complete disaster. Call out your opponents. Call them pedophiles, call them losers for getting caught in Vietnam, call them crooked and call for locking them up, tell them to their face they are liars. Call the media fake news. Wage social media battles with news stations, politicians, judges, citizens, other countries. That is what creates drama, ratings, and media coverage. Billions of dollars of free publicity. Good or bad, Trump was "playing them like a fiddle" everyone said.
All of the above worked. It really worked. He is now President.
Now here is where the problem starts. Now that he is President, the free media coverage will not stop - they aren't changing, especially when he just keeps feeding them. If anything, it's now on overdrive, because he is the POTUS. The whole "stealing the limelight, all coverage is good coverage" thing won't go away, and is now turning against him, because when you start wearing big boy pants, shite matters. You can't just continue to burn bridges and then not expect to need those bridges when you need to go back.
The media was here before him, and will be here after him. This whole ordeal was on him for making it a spectacle. And, well, that's exactly what we have.

To answer your own question, all you have to do is look back at what they did Romney.
If a decent guy like Romney could be portrayed as literally Hitler back in 2012 then it should be easy to imagine what they were going to do to Trump.

To what do you attribute the overwhelming negative media coverage towards Trump?
The show didn't end with the "election." That was only the beginning.

absolutely agree. President is really not that important.
With that said, teh right complained about jobs and economy when obama saw the same level numbers. Only the stock market is unqeustionably good.

The media does what it's told to do, says what it told to say, and they detest Trump. Anything he's for they are against. Anything positive is never spoken of. The goal is to get rid of him, and when they do they will start in on Pence. They wanted Trump to be the nominee because they thought he would be easier for Hillary to beat, and they did all they could do to make it happen, when he became the nominee they turned against him with a vengeance. But Trump won, people like you and me voted him in. Now it's all out war to take him down. Sad, it's their party, their agenda over country. Stay strong MAGA

He's a bull in the establishment's China shop.
He was elected to be exactly that.

I think he talks too much. If he'd would just STFU and get shite done, it wouldn't be as difficult for him.

When a new movement topples an old regime, one of the the first things that the new leaders must do is to seize control of mass communication. The Left has seized control of US mass communication.

They built him up, so I imagine they feel free to tear him down?
He provided the fodder, the punchlines, the glitz -n- glimmer, and they ran with it. Now he's shooting himself in the foot, so they're running with that. And come next week the coverage will depend on what they have to sell?
Even secret agendas require fluff to fill a page, and this guys just hands them more than they can print. You don't like him there's an app for that. You do, well there's one for that too. Fake goes both ways these days (it's not just in blouses, it's also in trousers as well).

The Deep State and the Uni-party still want to wreck Syria on behalf of Israel. It would be a double whammy for the war mongers on Wall Street if we went to war with Russia. They would make lots of money just like in 2003 when we wrecked Iraq on behalf of Israel.

His winning absolutely humiliated them

Obama, Hillary, Deep State (Intel Community especially) are all CRIMINALLY LIABLE, if any kind of HONEST Investigation is mounted.
Their only shot at an across the board pass, is to paint Trump/His People as criminal also...tying themselves (their politicized prosecution, or amnesty) into Trump's. Further corruption of The Rule of Law, and the unity of the Nation. Economic too; Alinsky version of "engineered collapse".
The Left CAN NOT let Trump stay in power; he's laid down his markers, Trump Nation now knows the guilty of the Progs...so it's full steam ahead into the storm.

The fact that he's a douche bag of historic proportions?

Stock Market boom was lead story on CBS nightly news last night.
Trump doesn't do himself any favors with the constant twitter attacks. I'm sure there is no love coming back to him. CNN video, failing NYT, etc. don't go in the kitchen if you can't handle the heat.

Do you consider pointing out his incessant lies to be negative media coverage?
Posted on 8/3/17 at 10:14 am to The Pirate King
Not establishment and ran as an (R).
That's why.

Generally you're seeing several networks with 90%+ of negative coverage towards Trump since election.
We're talking about people who were literally in tears on election night.
If you watched people crying or flaming angry on election night and thought they might be straight in their coverage thereafter, you'd have to be crazy.

They thought they could pick the next President. He proved them wrong.
