The public now says only 9% of Trump news coverage is 'fair'

...Media Research Center have confirmed that 90 percent of broadcast news coverage of Mr. Trump and his administration has been negative since the president took office almost two years ago. Now comes confirmation of blatant bias across the entire news media from another source.

“Respondents decisively side against the media when it comes to fair and unbiased coverage of the President and Republicans,” says a new survey from McLaughlin & Associates which reveals that only 9 percent of Americans now say that news coverage in general is “fair or not biased” regarding Mr. Trump and the GOP.

Great. So then 91% of the people don't believe the lying media. So then Trump needs do what's best for the country and not worry about what the media says.

He needs to do what ever it takes to build the wall, stop voter fraud and prosecute the Deep State.

What’s with this Mr. Trump business, he’s been President for going on two years now. Deal with it. Use the proper title. It’s President Trump, whether you like it or not, whether you’re comfortable saying or writing it or not.

I actually think the MSM is getting worse.

For example, how many times in recent days has POTUS been attacked for his comments about the need to manage forests and groundcover better, to possibly reduce the frequency and impacts of wildfires? (at least hundreds?)

How many times has that story been told with the comment that POTUS offered NO EVIDENCE to support his opinion? (at least hundreds?)

How many times has ANYONE in the MSM actually pursued that line of thought, to determine (and then report on) whether there are efforts that COULD BE MADE to better manage the forests and the groundcover, to reduce fires? (ZERO)

This is just one example, and I am about to need a break from all MSM, soon, as I am not feeling good about my anger levels of late.

No doubt. Just this morning the Blonde guest on CBS this morning was actually lying about Trump to make him look bad. She said he lies to lawyers all the time when they are interviewing him. NorDUH and Gayle didn't blink, neither did the gay guy John.

Relax people, I’m sure the fake news media will honestly cover the pardoning of the turkey and the lighting of the White House Christmas tree....

Which translates into the Rats winning 40 Seats in the House, two GOP losses in the Senate and only three pickups when half the Rat Senate Caucus was up for reelection.

Makes sense to me, not.

The Washington Times is far better than most, but you raise a good point.

Some folks just can’t accept that they were wrong in 2016, and still haven’t come to terms with his win.
