Harvard Study Reveals Huge Extent of Anti-Trump Media Bias
Heat Street ^ | 19 May 2017 | Heat Street Staff

A major new study out of Harvard University has revealed the true extent of the mainstream media’s bias against Donald Trump.

Academics at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy analyzed coverage from Trump’s first 100 days in office across 10 major TV and print outlets.

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:

The academics based their study on seven US outlets and three European ones.

In America they analyzed CNN, NBC, CBS, Fox News, the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.

They also took into account the BBC, the UK’s Financial Times and the German public broadcaster ARD.

Every outlet was negative more often than positive.

Only Fox News, which features some of Trump’s most enthusiastic supporters and is often given special access to the President, even came close to positivity.

These a-holes get paychecks from Disney, Comcast, Time Warner, and CBS. Stop giving $ to those that write checks to the a-holes.

Media response: We are completely unbiased and rigorously objective. But it's a simple fact that Trump is worse than Hitler and we just report that fact. It may come across as 98% negative, but it's just the objective truth.

I'd say this is fairly accurate, 98% of Trump mentions are negative attacks. What they don't say is that these are non-stop 24/7 and the "delivery" of the news is palpably hate filled by this news readers.

The MSM keeps forgetting what they are in existence FOR.

Cheerleading for THEIR favorite personalities... is NOT what it’s about.

How dumb do you have to be if you call yourself a ‘journalist’ and you don’t GET that?

The mainstream media outlets are a wholly owned subsidiary of the socialist-democrat party.

The mainstream media is the propaganda wing of the socialist-democrat party.

What part of this does the American population NOT understand?

Of course this excludes the socialist-democrat snowflake antifa soros financed neo-NAZI bolshevik RINO globalist crowd, who welcome an American soviet socialist dictatorship, even to their own demise.

These “useful idiots” don’t realize that they’ll be the first ones to be rounded up and executed when the hardcore communists take control.
