    President Trump has suffered the most unfavorable press coverage of any president on record, according to a report from the Shorenstein Center at Harvard.

    Mr. Trump has dominated the news since taking office, with 41 percent of all stories reviewed by the center focusing on the new president. That’s three times more than the average of previous presidents.

    But the tone of the coverage was exceptionally antagonistic.

    “Negative reports outpaced positive ones by 80 percent to 20 percent. Trump’s coverage was unsparing. In no week did the coverage drop below 70 percent negative and it reached 90 percent negative at its peak,” the analysts said in their new report, released Thursday.

    Graph Directly from the study:

    =================================================

    Pro Tip: The most balanced coverage.... FOX News.... go figure.

    This just proves once again how totally biased our National News Media is. They are Liberals that put ideology before anything else, even business.

    We have a morally bankrupt press that aligns with the hard left and pushes that agenda to the U.S. public.

    ^^^ This is a lie. Even the director admitted he is not under investigation. Why do you Liberals lie so much?

    You were one of the biggest crybabies on this site when Hillary Clinton was caught red handed and you wanted no investigation.

    It shows the press is doing their job. You are making the painfully obvious mistake of shooting the messenger. It is their job to give you bad news.

    But factual reporting is the destroyer of illusions so it makes people angry when their balloons burst.

    Are you claiming Trump doesn't lie regularly?

    I believe the press is hostile to Trump. And how surprising that is, considering how well he treats the...what was it he called them again...."enemy of the people". I mean, Trump has done so much to command their respect, amiright?

    He's not under investigation. Members of the Trump campaign are being looked at. You just admitted this on a different thread, and here you are spreading falsehoods again. You and the truth have not been introduced yet?

    He was in charge of his campaign. Or did I get that wrong? He wasn't in charge of his campaign? Who was?

    I set up all these Liberals and they didn't even see this coming... but thanks for taking the bait.

    You all just admitted that the press is reporting their opinions, beliefs, and not the facts. Because Trump treated them bad they are attacking the President! That is YOUR view liberals! Congratulations on total moral bankruptcy! It's not about the facts! It's about ideology! Just as I always said it was!

    Check Mate.

    No kidding.

    The most thoroughly unprepared imbecile ever to hold the office of POTUS.

    He (and his dwindling number of supporters) should be happy it isn't 100% negative.

    I'm not a Liberal, but I didn't admit that. I said they treated him badly because he treats them badly. I haven't seen evidence that they aren't reporting facts. Remember, they usually report on what comes out of his mouth or his Twitter fingers. And negatively comment on it. So do people with functioning brain cells.

    If he acted like an adult, they would treat him like one. They treat Rex Tillerson like an adult, and Neil Gorsuch, and even Mike Pence. That's because they act like one. Something Trump would be wise to emulate. But since he's incapable of it, there is where we are today.

    But then again, Trump always did enjoy a good troll fight.

    Do you believe all Harvard studies? I guess you supported the ACA, since they used a Harvard study to get the support for that bill. And a recent Harvard study said that 43,000 people will die if the ACA is repealed. You better tell President Trump that Harvard studies need to be accepted unquestioningly.
