    Given Trump's record of lying, changing positions, appointing crooks I would say that 90% negative coverage is a gift to Trump.

    Its true, we never hear about these things from the MSM.

    Meanwhile its nightly updates about Russia, Trump being hitler, and that hitler served the championship college team mcdonalds.

    See its interesting because during the Obama years I could never get the left to admit the media bias was there. (his coverage was overwhelmingly positive).

    Now, we are getting lefties to admit there is a disparity-though they seem to be justifying it as Trump just being that bad.

    Its fascinating because this same left does not think it odd that they have the exact same viewpoints as the MSM.

    Well when most scientists worldwide and most developed countries have a viewpoint different from yours you should probably wonder if perhaps you are wrong. Or perhaps Trump could use your intellect as his model for an impenetrable wall.

    Definition of bias in English


    NOUN
    • 1mass noun Inclination or prejudice for or against one person or group, especially in a way considered to be unfair.

      ‘there was evidence of bias against foreign applicants’

      ‘the bias towards younger people in recruitment’

      Learn the definition. Unbiased doesn't mean 50% favorable and 50% unfavorable.

    Absolutely. There was a kind of post ww2 order, where NATO was going to protect the west from Communism in the Soviet union.

    The USSR is gone and Trump simply asks A. Do we need NATO anymore? and B. If we do, why are the major players NATO was intended to protect not paying their share?

    The left lost its mind over this.

    The antiwar left was silent during the Obama years, and now that we have a POTUS who is to date decidedly more anti-war, the left spits and hisses.

    The media has warped viewpoints so severely that there are two Americas today. One that recognizes Trumps successes, and another that sees him as a hitler, russian colluding dictator that is nearly impeached.

    The broadcast networks still "inform" the most people.

    Fox trumps MSNBC and CNN.

    I don't think there is a person that can watch Jim Acosta and call it unbiased journalism.

    The cherry on top is CNN loses it when its called fake news.

    Lame justification. Obama was a loser and so even his "victories" were lame.

    Why should the US wait years for other nations to do what they should have done all along?

    Part of the reason the left is so worried about Trump, is because he makes Obama look like the amateur he was.

    Not really...the GOP didn't 1) cause the recession...it happened well after they were out of power....and 2) the UE happened even further out after they were out of power. Sorry, facts get in your way....but keep living your fantasy....maybe post another link showing how the GOP introduced and passed legislation in the House...only to have the Dems block it for years....then do nothing when they got the power...well nothing other then tell Americans how great Fannie and Freddie were doing.

    yes, really. This has all been discussed in other threads, and you were shown to be completely wrong. It's off topic here however.

    They get ~10 likes for every dislike on YouTube. Just as a majority of Americans despise MAGA, a majority watch and appreciate the real news media, including CNN and MSNBC.

    The coverage is negative because the outcomes are negative. One screw up after another, day after day. There is nothing so simple that Trump can't mess it up. If he wants positive coverage, he should do positive things.

    You're inability to accept the truth makes you a fine Leftist.

    Even NBC has produced reports of the highly disparate negative coverage.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/do...ht-his-media-coverage-mostly-negative-n806681

    Harvard University also came to the same obvious conclusion. (Second Paragraph of link below)

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...egative/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.6a493f40629f

    .... as did NPR....

    https://www.npr.org/2017/10/02/5550...trump-more-negative-than-for-other-presidents

    Do you want to dispute those sources too?

    We have a segment of the population brainwashed by these propaganda outlets... some of them post here.

    Flawed logic. You only SEE things you are told are bad.

    You don't see things that Trump did that the rest of us can see.

    ^^^ This is the kind of nonsense post one would expect from a person that actually believes what the networks, DailyKos, and MediaMatters spew. When we have propaganda outlets like these delivering hardcore bias, ignorant responses like this come from those susceptible to lies.

    Trumps work on the economy, internationally, with jobs, human trafficking, regulation roll backs, manufacturing gains, VA Accountability Act, NATO partners spending more on defense than ever before, Jerusalem Embassy, $6 Billion secured to fight Opioid epidemic, Generic Drug Approval, record minority employment.... is virtually ignored by the media and you likely have no idea these things happened. If you do know they happened, it's crazy partisan that you wouldn't commend them.
