A study by liberal Harvard has revealed that the overwhelming majority of coverage that the media is giving President Trump is negative, more so than any other previous Presidents.
Fox News Insider reported:
The Trump administration is “setting a new standard for unfavorable press coverage of a president,” according to a new study by professor of government and the press Thomas E. Patterson at the Harvard Kennedy School and Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy.
The study looked at cable news outlets CNN, CBS, Fox News and NBC, the Financial Times and BBC in the UK, and ARD in Germany, as well as print versions of The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
Coverage of Trump was almost constant, taking up up 41 percent of all coverage, three times as much as former presidents received.
Trump has slammed the media since the beginning of his campaign. Earlier this week he stated that “no politician in history” has been treated worse.
“The sheer level of negative coverage gives weight to Trump’s contention, one shared by his core constituency, that the media are hellbent on destroying his presidency,” wrote Patterson.
On “The Fox News Specialists,” Bernard McGuirk said this overwhelmingly negative coverage of Trump is “disgusting,” but it’s not surprising.
“They’re rabid. They’re shrill. They’re in a feeding frenzy. They’re unhinged,” McGuirk said.
“CNN has some amazing journalists,” Eric Bolling acknowledged. “But they’re coming in at 92, 93 percent [negative].”
What did that study cost?
Worse than Jimmy Peanut and Tricky Dick?
I’m not surprised. The media have never been so far down the toilet.
“What did that study cost?”
I could have done it for two cents
Uniparty media. Backing up uniparty repubs and dems.
For such a study, one would have to know gaps of time when he is not being attacked...and compare such gaps...so since there are no gaps, how can there be a study? It is 24/7.
It really is 24/7 on these networks. They hate Trump and are cheering his demise.
“Well, the MEDIA is OWNED by Conservatives and Da Joooooos, and they hate Trump, so that makes sense to me.”

My follow-up question: “Why didn’t the Media hammer 0bama like this, then, if they are all Conservatives and Jooooos?”
*Deer In Headlights Stare*
Bwaaa-Haaa-Haaa! *SMIRK*
... and WHO paid for it?
Queue Captain Obvious!
I have never seen anything like it. It was pretty bad with Reagan but not this bad.
I think the media thought they had totally won with Obama and they would seal their victory with Hillary. They went all out and were expecting an easy victory.
Their disappointment was clear when Trump won. Now they are acting like spoiled children which is basically what they are.
Without question!!
The press response to this study will be to assert that these results prove just how unfit Trump is.
It shows me how unfair and unfit the news media is. They gave Obama a pass and grill Trump and they make up scandals and pass on lies by The New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angles Times.
The media is commie propaganda. Intelligent, rational people can listen to both sides of an issue. Problem is 99% of the left are proving to be narrow minded bigots who only want their views to exist and exterminate anyone who goes against them.
Watched Chris Wallace on his Sunday show, he was doing his best imitation of MSNBC.
Chris is as bad as Shep. He loves attacking Republicans.
