Media bias hit new high in Trump-Harris coverage, three times 2004
Washington Examiner ^ | November 5, 2024 | Paul Bedard

Kamala Harris was carried to Election Day with the biggest and most favorable media bias in history

....

The big three networks that dominated TV coverage ended up giving her coverage that was 78% positive to just 15% positive for President Donald Trump. That 63-point advantage is the biggest in history and about three times what 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry had over President George W. Bush.

...

This year’s coverage imbalance was slightly worse than in 2020, when TV news broke all records in providing Joe Biden a 58-point advantage.

The bias was hard to miss this year. Near the end of the campaign, for example, social media exploded with examples, such as the efforts by CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell to portray Harris as joyful and smart and Trump as dark and revenge-obsessed.

Their broadcast licenses need to be sold off to the highest bidder; they are currently free and they have betrayed their obligation to serve the public with free and accurate information.

The corrupt fake news media is on life support, hearing them gasp is a good thing.

15% positive for Trump? I read a lot of political articles, and I can’t recall any positive articles about Trump.

Out here on the West coast, Fox called the election at around 11:00pm. I monitored CNN, MSNBC, AP, CBS, ABC, NBC and USA Today. I went to bed around 12:30am and I don’t believe any of them had called the race at that point.

Notably, NBC/MSNBC headline was that DJT “declared victory” but NBC had not made that call.

Turns out, we really didn’t need them anyway . . .

The Leftist media is a branch of the deep state.

Fascism is the marriage of corporations and state. That is what our deep state is.

The bias is the same. After 2016, they just started shedding the veils of pseudo-objectivity, until, in the past year, their bias stood brazenly naked before the world. Trump inspired them.
