Networks Trashed Trump With 90% Negative Spin in 2018, But Did It Matter?

Networks Trashed Trump With 90% Negative Spin in 2018, But Did It Matter?
* As it was last year, the Trump presidency was the biggest story of 2018, accounting for almost 87 hours of coverage, or 28% of all evening news airtime. But that’s down from 99 hours of coverage in 2017, perhaps a sign the networks are wearying of treating every Trump tweet as deserving of crisis-level coverage.
* The tone of coverage remains incessantly hostile: 90% negative, vs. just 10% positive (excluding neutral statements), matching the historically bad press we documented in 2017. Yet despite the media’s obvious disapproval, public opinion of the President actually improved slightly during 2018, from an average 40% approval on January 1 to 42.7% approval on December 31, according to RealClearPolitics.
* For the second year in a row, the Russia investigation was the single most-covered topic amid the networks’ Trump coverage, garnering 858 minutes of airtime. Since January 20, 2017, the Russia probe has received 2,092 minutes of coverage on just the three evening newscasts.

The 76% number for Democrats is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. After 50 years of skepticism and constant proven lies, we get a huge spike because anyone willing to trash Trump must be trustworthy.
If there was an equally stupid (or higher) number of Republicans who trusted Fox News when they bashed Obama, frick them too.
We are a nation of retards.

Fox NEVER went anywhere near 90/10 on negative v positive coverage on Jug Ears, with the exception of the prime time opinion shows, but even they were not that skewed (Greta and O'Reilly did not Bash Obama non stop, Hannity did, but taken as a whole, it was not 90/10 or even close)
it's not even remotely the same thing

The DNC/MSM Political Complex has exposed itself to be the monolithic liberal political party its been for decades.
And the Magnificent Orange SOB just keeps inflicting the death by a million tweeter cuts!

You do know that most people don't give a rats arse about spin. They watch to see current news events. Watching for the spin is like taking a tour of stockyards and complaining about the smell.

A few negative stories != 90%+.
Posted on 5/22/19 at 7:32 am to bmy
so, that's great
now, explain to me how that diminishes my point
where in those 2 YouTube videos is there any indication that Fox hit Obama with 90% negative coverage, especially in their hard news programs
or feel free to find another link that disproves my point
take all the time you need, I'm patient

Oof. I looked and didn't find any positive clips from Fox. Only negative and neutral.

Awwwww sad yalls "fox news bad" mantra is going away?? Smh.

Sadly, it does matter. Given President Trump's accomplishments, he should have a 70% Approval Rating in the polls instead of 50%. It's that 90% negative coverage by the media that keeps Trump from having that 70% AR that HE HAS EARNED.
But the media doesn't just hurt President Trump. They do a great disservice to this country by both the way they "cover" the news and what they choose not to cover. A short but certainly not comprehensive list:
1 - The media could've shut down the false narrative of Trump/Russia collusion in no time if they had simply done their job and covered it fairly.
2 - Spygate and FISAGATE? If the media was fair-and-balanced regarding what they cover and investigate, we would ALREADY have seen perp walks regarding this attempted coup carried out by weaponized agencies of the federal government. If the media had done their job, we never would've heard of Q. Q's entire mission has been a two-fold exercise in 1) informing the American public about the attempted overthrow of a sitting President, and 2) Preparing the American people for the indictments, arrests, and prosecution of the people who were involved in that. Hell, the MSM could've accomplished more in less than 6 weeks than what Q has been able to do in 19 months.
And, it isn't all related to President Trump. For example, some of us are aware that there is a school in Philadelphia being run by a group of extremist Muslims who are teaching young Muslim boys to hate all non-Muslims and to commit violence against them in the name of Islam. How much are you hearing about that from Jake Tapper? George Stephanopoulos? Anderson Cooper?
The media tried to falsely demonize a bunch of white kids from Kentucky, but this school in Philadelphia that is brainwashing these Muslim kids into becoming violent warriors for Allah? Hardly a peep.
This is why those of us who actually know what's going on realize EXACTLY how destructive and corrupt our media is.
PS - For once, I would like to see some fool like Strong Safety condemn something like that school in Philadelphia, instead of unfairly assassinating the character of Trump supporters. I could say the same thing about that virtue-signalling idiot Jeff Daniels, too, but I doubt he reads this board.
