In 2017, the liberal Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University found that 93 percent of CNN's coverage of the Trump administration was negative. The center found similarly negative Trump coverage at other major news outlets.
The election year 2020 has only accelerated that asymmetrical bias -- to the point that major newspapers and network and cable news organizations are now fused with the Joe Biden campaign.
Sometimes stories are covered only in terms of political agendas. Take COVID-19.
The media assure us that the Trump administration's handling of the pandemic has been a disaster. But their conclusions are not supported by any evidence.
In the United States, the coronavirus death rate per million people is similar to, or lower than, most major European countries except Germany
When the virus was at its worst, before the partisan campaign of this election year heated up, the governors in our four largest states had only compliments for the Trump administration.
Democrats Andrew Cuomo of New York and Gavin Newsom of California and Republicans Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida effusively praised the administration's cooperation with their own frontline efforts.
The most recent conclusions of impartial heads of federal agencies responsible for coordinating national and state policies are about the same.
Dr. Deborah Birx (adviser to both the Obama and Trump administrations on responses to infectious diseases), Dr. Anthony Fauci (director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) and Dr. Scott Gottlieb (former head of the Food and Drug Administration) have not faulted the Trump administration's overall COVID-19 response.

Big story back in 1995
Hell, academia is dead, entertainment is dead, sports is dead, the cities are dead...half the country has been body-snatched by Marxist pod-people.
When they had absolute control over all media, they believed themselves to be the "kingmakers" of the country and used that control to make or unmake any President; I.E, JFK, Nixon.
Yep. At least nowadays there’s opposition to the commie news.
“The news as we once understood it is dead.
It has been replaced by the un-news: a political narrative created by partisans who believe the noble ends of destroying Trump justify any biased means necessary — including destroying their own reputation and craft.”
This is what it boils down to.... the ends justify the means at any cost. Trump must go.
Ah yes. Invasion of the body snatchers without the pods.
It’ not exactly accurate to say the Democrats have taken over the media; it’s more like the communists have taken over both the media and the Democrat party.
Free Speech has become a Marxist shouting propaganda while no one else can manage to get a word in.
That isn’t free speech.
I’d like to see trust-busting and MAJOR restrictions on centralized ownership of media. Like: One outlet per owner. You can own one TV station. Or one radio station. Or one newspaper. That’s it: one thing. No more for you.
Then we would see diversity of viewpoints.
Someone's gonna get fired for that mutinous 7 percent.
Big story back in 1995
Exactly! It’s been the same headline now for 25 years but nothing ever changes. They’re still there.
The rat machine has infiltrated the media with political rat family members.
That is not actually true
A great conservative Roger Ailes developed Fox News and that changed everything.
Fox News not only challenged the status quo bt over the years has whipped them at their own game. The Democrats are so fearful of Fox News they refuse to go on and be interviewed.
Meanwhile the conservative Republican president and several of his designees appear regularly delivering the message personally and unfiltered
How about Fox News now running cover for Soros???
I have news for you all, the MSM has always pushed their master’s agendas. I remember JFK murder and the cover up, get out of Vietnam and the anti war movement, the ‘60s black riots, Nixon & Watergate, Jimmy Carter & and the greatest President ever and so much more. The MSM was created to push anti American agendas! Nothing has changed except the internet allows the people to publish their own side. Must have been like when the printing press was developed.
“That is not actually true”
The media has been gone since at least Watergate, starting during the Vietnam War. But a lot of people didn’t notice until Fox came along to provide some contrast.
It probably had a leftist slant against Henry VII and Charlemagne in their respective times.

Correction: I meant Henry VIII (the six wives one).

Isn’t this ‘news’ from 20 yeaRS AGO?
