The broadcast news media has not been kind to President Trump since he was elected. Consistent studies from the Media Research Center showed that, on average, 90 percent of the coverage of Mr. Trump has been hostile. Broadcasters now appear intent on creating a negative grand finale as the midterm elections loom, lashing out at the GOP as well.
“The broadcast networks are heavily spinning their campaign coverage against the Republicans. The spin of this coverage was lopsidedly anti-Republican and anti-Trump,” writesRich Noyes, a senior analyst for the conservative press watchdog.
Based on coverage from Sept. 1 through Oct. 26, Mr. Noyes and his team found that 88 percent of that broadcast coverage was “hostile.” They also counted 97 blatantly negative statements about the president and Republicans, compared to 10 for the Democrats.

A little bit less to everyone else.
Of course it is. Journalism, particularly broadcast journalism, needs theatre and emotion and overall superficiality. These things are by and large incompatible with conservatism.
What do you expect from (DSM) Deep State Media?
President Trump needs to keep piling on the ridicule. Criticizing these media $hit heads is no different than criticizing Pravda. They lose more credibility every day.
Well, they’ve gone from 100% negative to 88% negative...they are improving! /sarcasm;)
In an odd way, I think it energizes anyone right of center. Identifying an adversary gives you focus.
The country has improved 88% over what it has been the eight years before President Trump, so it stands to reason the the communist, globalist Lame Stream News would be 88% negative...
And they’re not even slowing him down! MAGA!
Lame Street Media at its finest.
Yes. It’s good to have these supposed updates but I have not seen a positive Trump item in about 2 years-—not that I watch, though.
Dems have full propaganda arm with FREE advertising and promotion called the media, and its appears to be true news so that makes it all more valuable. They don’t even say “Full disclosure: We in this media outlet are working against Trump.” Lawyer ads sometimes say clients were compensated for this message,etc. “News” shows don’t.
I don't care if it's 150% negative, we all know the numbers are meaningless. The numbers did not influence my decision to vote straight Republican when I voted early.
Who will be the sorriest pollster on Wed morning? I vote for Charlie Cook, Mr. Johnnie One-Note.
