The firm's analysts watched 370 news stories about Trump on the “NBC Nightly News,” “CBS Evening News” and Fox News’s “Special Report” between Jan. 20 and Feb. 17. Trump took office the day the analysis began. Overall the analysis found that on NBC and CBS, 43 percent of stories on Trump were negative, while only 3 percent were positive. Fifty-four percent of reports were considered neutral.

Fox News's "Special Report", the coverage also skewed negative, albeit to a lesser extent. The Bret Baier-anchored news and analysis program ... showed that exactly one-quarter of the reports about Trump were deemed negative by Media Tenor analysts, while 12 percent were deemed positive. The remaining 63 percent were seen as neutral.

I would have liked to see CNN’s results in this study, but we all know how that would look. 99% of reports are negative; 1% neutral.
