From an article of the same name found at Zerohedge.com here
“A major new study out of Harvard University has revealed the true extent of the mainstream media’s bias against Donald Trump.
They found that the tone of some outlets was negative in as many as 98% of reports, significantly more hostile than the first 100 days of the three previous administrations:
for comparison of the first 100 days for the last several presidents, just to show how extreme the bias against Trump is:
Trump has repeatedly claimed that his treatment by the media is unprecedented in its hostility.
This study suggests that, at least when it comes to recent history, he’s right.”
An article at theblaze.com adds:
“Among the news outlets examined, not one provided more positive coverage than negative coverage. Unsurprisingly, Fox News was the closest; 52 percent of its coverage of Trump was negative, and 48 percent was positive, suggesting the network’s “fair and balanced” slogan may be more accurate than is often alleged.
Ninety percent or more of the coverage at CNN, NBC and CBS was determined to be negative. The coverage by the New York Times and Washington Post was 80 percent negative or higher. Even the Wall Street Journal, which is considered to lean conservative, was determined to provide coverage of Trump that was 70 percent negative.
One unexpected finding from the study is that BBC’s coverage was 74 percent negative, lower than many of the top American news outlets.”
I assume the extreme witch hunt against Trump may simply be because he is not part of the ESTABLISHMENT. I think Obama was far, far worse – and the media loved him. Will the swamp drain Trump or will he drain the swamp? The swamp seems to be winning.
The only thing his ratings improved for was bombing Syria. I guess the powers that be are looking forward to WWIII.
