The broadcast news media has not been kind to President Trump since he was elected.

“The broadcast networks are heavily spinning their campaign coverage against the Republicans. The spin of this coverage was lopsidedly anti-Republican and anti-Trump,” writes Rich Noyes, a senior analyst for the conservative press watchdog.
Based on coverage from Sept. 1 through Oct. 26, Mr. Noyes and his team found that 88 percent of that broadcast coverage was “hostile.” They also counted 97 blatantly negative statements about the president and Republicans, compared to 10 for the Democrats.
The greater question is whether voters are paying attention to this practice. The answer: Yes, voters get it — and frown upon it.

The service they perform for it is coordinated promotion and advertising in kind on every level.
None of which the Democrat Party could do itself.

What’s to be expected from groups who support every kind of perversity/ They also support killing prenatal Americans.
Remember, 95% of so called Journalists are self admitted Democrats, Liberals, Progressives and / or Socialists.
Of the remaining 5%, four out of five are Liars.
