How much has the media’s obsession with the ongoing Russia investigation smothered the rest of the Trump policy agenda? A Media Research Center study of every broadcast network evening newscast in the five weeks since the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller on May 17 found a whopping 353 minutes of airtime devoted to the Russia probe, or 55 percent of all coverage of the Trump presidency during those weeks.
The networks’ relentless coverage of Russia meant little airtime was spent on important policy topics, as the investigation garnered 20 times more attention than the new health care bill, 100 times more attention than the administration’s push to improve the nation’s infrastructure, and a stunning 450 times more coverage than the push for comprehensive tax reform.
The study also found one-third (34%) of the networks’ Russia coverage was based on anonymous sources, some of which later proved erroneous.
For this report, MRC analysts reviewed all 364 evening news stories — totaling nearly 640 minutes — that discussed President Trump or other top administration officials. Of those, 246 were full reports focused solely on the administration; the rest were brief, anchor-read items (36), or stories about other topics that included some mention of the administration (82).

Don’t alert the morons. Trump is implementing his agenda under the radar while the media scream Russia! Trump! 24/7.
It is truly gross.
They are “horny” to oust Trump and get their stinky, vile, musty old witch in as President.
Change the freakin record!
Get off the Pot!
Move On!
The Fat Lady has sung several months ago!
Elvis has left the building!
If you visit the LBJ library in Austin they have a replica of the Oval Office in LBJ’s time. There were three TVs lining one wall—one for each network.
Hopefully Trump has thrown them in the White House garbage dump where they belong!
“TV News Is Obsessed With Trump-Russia Probe”
Just the MSM (Main Subversive Media) engaging in sedition and espionage.
The Opposition Party are #FAKEAMERICANS
The Opposition Party will continue their lies, distortions, and obstructionism. It is what they do. Make it as difficult on their enemy as possible.
They are at war with conservatives. If you are not a leftist and one of them, then you are their enemy.
One of the tactics of war is deception, deceiving, and lying. The Opposition Party lies because it is one of the war tools. Get used to it. And come to realize that we are at war. They know they are at war. So we better act like it also.
Watch Spicer at the WH Press briefings. He knows he is at war. That is why he treats them with such disdain and ridicule. He really needs to close up the open WH Press briefings. Invite only. Don’t let the enemy - the Opposition Party inside. The Opposition Party can then learn what is going on from their fake anonymous sources and Trump tweets - good luck with that.
The leftist Opposition Party is:
- msm (CNN #FAKENEWS, NBC, etc)
- Democrats
- GOPe/RINOS (such as McCain, etc)
- Hollywood
- Education (universities, colleges, etc)
- intelligence community
