Negative Press Coverage of Trump Quantified
IWB ^ | Robert Carbery

I thought the press coverage of President Trump was slanted but I didn’t think it was this bad.

The obvious bias has now been quantified in new research done by Pew Research Center looking into the negative stories on the president.

Over Trump’s first 100 days in office, 24 different media organizations found that reporting on the president has been the most negative of any other president who has been in office over the past 25 years. Research further revealed that only 5 percent of the media’s reporting during this period was positive while 62 percent was negative and 33 percent neither positive or negative.

President Obama’s first days in office were 42 percent positive. Only 20 percent negative. Republican George W. Bush was 22 percent positive and 28 percent negative. Clinton came in at 27 percent positive and 28 percent negative.

If they did an honest poll Obamas negs, and Trump’s pos, would both be around 5%.

The Establishment Media essentially became akin to the Nazi-era Voekischer Beobachter or the Soviet Union-era Pravda--propaganda outlets for the Democratic Party. No wonder why Trump's view of the MSM as fake news rings so true.

I’d love to see their methodology. No way he only got 64% negative coverage

5% positive—I cannot believe that number.

0% is more likely.
