Since the nominating conventions in July, Donald Trump has enjoyed significantly more airtime on broadcast networks than rival Hillary, but almost all of it—91 percent—has been negative, the Media Research Center found.

Moreover, the networks spent a disproportionate amount of time covering his personal controversies (440 minutes) such as his treatment of women and release of his tax returns, compared to Clinton’s (185 minutes), discussing topics like her health and email scandal.

But a lot of Americans smell the rat when they are being oversold, and the media has oversold the negatives on Trump. They have turned him into an underdog and Americans like the underdog.

To me that figure seems low. The upper nineties seems more credible.

I must have missed the 9 percent that wasn’t negative.

Yes, they should stop believing the MSM, can’t trust them at all. I sometimes want Trump to win to spite them more than Hillary.

Factor out Hannity, Dobbs, and Judge Jeanine it would 99% negative Trump coverage.

Funny how my chances of seeing any of the 9% non-negative coverage are 0%.

And so Fox, which is just as bad as any other media outlet, is reporting on this why? What do their REAL polls tell them? Do they think to win back conservatives at this late date?

From day-one Trump said the media were amongst the most dishonest group of people, and they proved him right.

Can’t be. The GOPe types keep running around crying that Trump is getting wonderful coverage and anything bad is all his fault.

They fear they will be eclipsed by TRUMP TV.

Don’t forget Varney, he’s rooting for Trump.

It’s nothing short of astounding that Trump is doing so well with everything the media has done to him.
