One of Donald Trump's hobbyhorses during the presidential campaign and even now that he has emerged as the president-elect is how deeply negative the media coverage of him was during the 2016 race. Turns out he was right, according to a new study out of Harvard's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy.
“His coverage was negative from the start [of the general election] and never came close to entering positive territory,” writes Thomas E. Patterson, the Bradlee Professor of Government and the Press at Harvard. “During his best weeks, the coverage ran 2-to-1 negative over positive. In his worst weeks, the ratio was more than 10-to-1. If there was a silver lining for Trump, it was that his two best weeks were the ones just preceding the November balloting.”(continued)

good for belly laughs (except that Pelosi is so corrupt with graft, eg treasure island)
And GOP-e cuckservatives gave them plenty of `ammo’ throughout 2016 for the MSM’s fake news stories, e.g. “Trump is a misogynist!”.
The separation of wheat from chaff remains. We’re now at the point of deciding what kind of party will remain.
McCain and the rest can get on board or pound sand, but no more of this: `We’ll caucus with the Democrats on this one’ BS.
Dinosaur Media Death WatchTM
It was the great Doctor Raoul who originated it.
You need a study to figure that out?
That’s like needing a study to figure out water is wet.
He got tons of free publicity during the primaries (the other candidates complained) because the media thought hilLIARy would be able to beat him.
Definitely should not be past tense.
Up here in Maine the “major” papers are extremely biased against Trump and our governor, and make no attempt to hide it.
For example, instead of making a headline “Trump calls for flag-burning ban”, they actually attempt to contradict and discredit him RIGHT IN THE HEADLINE: “Trump calls for flag-burning ban, even though it’s unconstitutional”. I kid you not, saw this and similar ones repeatedly.
They probably have to put it in the headlines because no one is likely to read their moronic biased articles. Utterly worthless rags except for odd bits of local news, like what building burned down.
The important question is not how negative the coverage was, but how accurate and comprehensive it was, and whether his opponents got similar coverage.
The media see the handwriting on the the wall. Trump won despite the media throwing everything they have at him. He DOES NOT NEED THEM.
I file this article in my “Once again the media proves water is wet” file.
I found it most interesting that there was no me mention of the media personality who posted on Facebook (?) that it was the media’s duty to prevent Trump’s election and that media ethics dealing with impartiality and fir reporting had to be suspended. Or, was this the first example of “false” news?
It’s the WaPo...has to be ‘fake news’.
He was/is smart enough to know that there is no such THING as “bad” coverage.
Pure Jujitsu. What they meant as takedown just made him stronger.
And the negative coverage continues daily. The “crooked media” will hound Trump with their dishonest garbble his entire initial 4 years and then continue should he go to 8 yrs. Then again, Like former VP Cheny told them, “We don’t need you anymore”. (Gotta love that line)
Yeah, but because it was war they gave him a tremendous amount of free coverage. Putin may not be the only judo champ on the world stage. now.
Quantify “good”! If snarky, arrogant fake news propagaters cheering him on because they thought he was stupid and would lose in a landslide to Hillary is what you consider “good”, then you are correct!
Chris SizzleLean thinks he has scored a huge scoop.
If you read the comments on the story you get what the left really thinks. Stuff like:
You don’t positively report on sh!t. You don’t positively report on rabid dogs. Etc, etc.
