| Study Reveals Trump Media Bias - Unexpectedly! |
| 2017-05-21 |
| [HeatStreet] 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. Charts at link. WaPo (83%) and NYT (87%) pretty close. 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. 52% negative, 48% positive. Pretty close to fair and balanced. |

| #8 I've always maintained that any and all reporters are liars, traitors and enemies of humankind until proven otherwise. Which will not happen until the heat death of the universe. |

| #4 Trump might get a fairer shake from the Christian Science Monitor but not many others--maybe some of the foreign news media. Doesn't look like the European media are much fairer than our MSM. |

| #3 They have told their lies for so long they believe they can continue to do so. Actually, it's worse - they no longer understand these are lies. |

| #2 The media has operated unchallenged in my opinion since Vietnam. They have told their lies for so long they believe they can continue to do so. The people know them for what they are. Oh a small number support them. Some work for them in the background. They will always fail. Every generation has its saboteurs. The new media is taking over. The old media voices will grow ever fainter. |
