    Trump's MSM coverage is also 90% factual. The rest is Fox News.

    True.

    His rambling nonsense surrounding his "emergency" has so man well known lies that he shouldd be taken out of office simply for the safety and security of the USA.

    You want to silence the free press and you think they are the enemy of the people? Wow. So ironic, and likely, you are completely unaware of it.

    To the OP, what negative press coverage is there that isn't true?

    See if you can find one story that Fox News has had to retract or one reporter they've had to fire for reporting FAKE NEWS like the LIBERAL MSM have had to do. Here is CNN's list:
    CNN FAKE NEWS
    CNN and other MSM Wildly Mischaracterized the Video of Covington Catholic Students Confronting a Native American Veteran

    CNN on July 27 reported Michael Cohen was prepared to tell special counsel Robert Mueller that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting in advance, a number of factors have called their reporting into question. (RELATED: CNN’s Quadruple Down On Dubious Trump Tower Story Leaves Out Key Details)

    CNN retracted a story in June of 2016 claiming that former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci was under investigation by Congress for his alleged ties to Russia. (RELATED: CNN Retracts Story About Trump Adviser Being Under Investigation)

    CNN reported in December of 2017 that Donald Trump Jr. received special access to documents stolen by WikiLeaks on Sept. 4, 2016. However, Donald Trump Jr. actually was emailed about the documents on Sept. 14, 2016 — a day after they were already available to the general public. (RELATED: CNN Botches Major ‘Bombshell’ Alleging Contacts Between Don Jr. And WikiLeaks)

    CNN has repeatedly claimed that all 17 intelligence agencies came to the same conclusion about Russian meddling. CNN’s claim is pure nonsense, as the Department of Energy, Department of the Treasury, and Drug Enforcement Agency, among others, would have no authority to make any assertions about Russian meddling in elections

    On June 6, 2017, CNN reported that former FBI director James Comey would contradict President Donald Trump’s claim that he was not under investigation.When the time came for Comey to release his opening statement for his congressional testimony, he actually ended up confirming Trump’s account. (RELATED: Comey Confirms: Trump Wasn’t Under FBI Investigation)

    When President Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe last November, the pair took part in a koi fish feeding ceremony. A video posted by CNN appeared to show Trump dumping his entire box of food into the koi pond unprompted. (RELATED: Journalists Slam Trump For Copying Fish Food Dump) An unedited video revealed that Trump was simply following the lead of Abe, who emptied his box of food first.

    In May of 2017 when Republicans were authoring a new health care bill, CNN claimed that GOP changes to Obamacare could make rape and sexual assault pre-existing conditions. PolitiFact rated that claim “mostly false,” explaining that “the bill does not change what is or is not a pre-existing condition; the health insurance companies write those definitions for themselves.”

    CNN anchor Chris Cuomo inexplicably said in October of 2016 that possessing WikiLeaks stolen documents is “illegal,” but insisted it’s “different for the media.” “Also interesting is, remember, it’s illegal to possess these stolen documents. It’s different for the media. So everything you learn about this,you’re learning from us,” Cuomo said. According to The Washington Post, it is not illegal to possess or distribute illegally obtained material so long as you were not involved in the original hack.

    MORE CNN FAKE NEWS -2

    CNN originally denounced Trump’s claim in March of 2017 that former President Barack Obama was wiretapping phones in Trump Tower as a “flat-out lie.” Then, in September of 2017, CNN reported that the FBI had a wiretap on former campaign chairman Paul Manafort — who has a residence in Trump Tower. While it is unclear if the FBI tapped Manafort’s phones in Trump Tower or picked up his conversations with the president, it’s plausible enough that CNN should not be dismissing Trump’s claims out of hand. (RELATED: CNN Reporter: Trump’s Wiretap Tweets Still Not Plausible)

    CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny tweeted on July 31, 2018, that President Trump had not taken questions from reporters in at least a week. Just one day prior to Zeleny’s tweet, Trump answered questions during a joint news conference with the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.

    The salacious and unverified Steele dossier was paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign, but that hasn’t stopped CNN from pinning the document on the GOP. (RELATED: Media Still Pinning Dossier On Republicans) Former Obama official and current CNN reporter Jim Sciutto was just one network talking-head who claimed the dossier was “initially paid for by Republicans.” While Republicans bought standard opposition research from Fusion GPS, they stopped paying the firm well before it ever contracted with Christopher Steele to compile the anti-Trump dossier.

    CNN claimed that only Democratic members of Congress gathered to pray before the 2017 Congressional Baseball Game — the first game after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot and nearly killed.(RELATED: CNN Incorrectly States Only Dems Prayed At Congressional Baseball Game) Pictures of the prayer circle clearly show both Democrats and Republicans praying together, and CNN eventually deleted their tweet claiming otherwise.

    After the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, CNN media reporter Brian Stelter accused Republican congressmen of being “scared” to come on the network to debate gun control. Anchor Chris Cuomo specifically called out Texas Senator Ted Cruz for not rising to the challenge. As it turns out, Sen. Cruz had done a 15 minute interview with CNN earlier that day. He blasted the network for airing “NONE” of his interview and noted that he had previously done three town hall debates on CNN with Senator Bernie Sanders. (RELATED: Ted Cruz Did A 15 Minute Interview With CNN — They Aired None Of It, Then Attacked Him For Not Coming On Air)

    CNN media reporter Brian Stelter accused the Republican National Committee of “misquoting” him in an ad attacking the credibility of Michael Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury.” “Real factual errors … makes you wonder about the overall content,” Stelter was quoted as saying. Stelter did utter those words during a CNN International television hit and quickly deleted his accusatory tweet. “I stand corrected: I thought this RNC ad misquoted me, but the quote came from a @CNNI TV hit,” Stelter admitted. I stand corrected: I thought this RNC ad misquoted me, but the quote came from a @CNNI TV hit. So I've deleted my previous tweet about this. Big picture point: Wolff's errors are sloppy, but many Trump experts say the book "rings true" overall. My advice: Read it — skeptically

    Nancy Sinatra made a quick joke about her late father’s song, “My Way,” being used at Trump’s Inauguration in January 2017. She tweeted in response to the news to “just remember the first line of the song” — which is, “And now, the end is near.” CNN spun Sinatra’s tweet into an article claiming she was “not happy” about Trump using her father’s song at the Inauguration. “That’s not true. I never said that. Why do you lie, CNN?” Sinatra asserted. “What a rotten spin to put on a harmless joke.”

    MORE CNN FAKE NEWS - 3

    After a May shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas, CNN reporters immediately began claiming that there were 22 school shootings on the year. (RELATED: CNN Re-Ups False 22 School Shootings Stat) However, CNN wildly exaggerates the number of school shootings by using methodology that includes accidental firearm discharges on school property, domestic disputes, and other non-active shooter events. For example, one listed shooting at Savannah State University in Georgia involved just two people, neither of whom were students.

    Multiple CNN reporters speculated about the whereabouts of Melania Trump after a scheduled kidney surgery and then denied responsibility for any conspiracy theories about the first lady. (RELATED: CNN Reporters Shirk Responsibility For Melania Conspiracies) Media reporter Brian Stelter led his “Reliable Sources” newsletter on June 3rd with the headline “Melania M.I.A,” and insisted the first lady’s whereabouts were a “mystery” because she had not been seen in public since May 10. While Stelter blamed random internet commenters for specific conspiracy theories about plastic surgery or a move back to NYC, CNN repeated such theories in an article and even asked Melania’s spokesperson to comment on them.

    CNN cited a study from the Oxford Internet Institute to claim that fake news targeted swing states during the 2016 presidential election. However, as The Daily Caller first reported, the study says nothing of the sort. (RELATED: Mainstream Media Reporting About Twitter ‘Fake News’ Is 100% False) The researchers in the study were talking about “junk news,” not “fake news” — and their definition of junk news includes mainstream conservative sites like The Washington Examiner and Breitbart News. A deep dive into the study thus reveals that Twitter users didn’t receive nearly as much “fake news” as CNN initially claimed to readers.

    CNN Money’s Daniel Shane accused President Trump of not knowing that Japan makes cars in the United States, writing, “Trump asks Japan to build cars in the U.S. It already does.” During the president’s November visit to Japan, he told Japan Inc, “Try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask?” However, when reading his full remarks — which Shane left out — it is clear that the president was making a joke and knows that Japanese manufacturers make cars in the U.S. (RELATED: CNN Spreads Two Fake Narratives During Trump Visit To Japan)

    A CNN panel consisting of Margaret Hoover, Sally Kohn, Sunny Hostin and Mel Robbins displayed the “hands up, don’t shoot” gesture in 2014 while talking about marches against police violence. The gesture seemed to be a reference to the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. While initial reports speculated that Brown had his hands up when he was shot by Darren Wilson, the DOJ concluded in a report in 2015 that physical and forensic evidence showed Brown’s hands could not have been above his waist.

    CNN deceptively edited a video of Sherelle Smith and Kimberly Neal, the sisters of an unarmed black man who was shot by police. The network claimed the two sisters were “calling for peace” amidst riots in their neighborhood. “Don’t bring that violence here,’ [Kimberly] Neal, his other sister, said while sobbing,” CNN’s report said. However, in a longer video, Sherelle says, “Y’all burning down s—t we need in our community. Take that s—t to the suburbs. Burn that s—t down. We need our s—t. We need our weaves. I don’t wear it. But we need it.” CNN removed the portion of their report about Sherelle and owned up to their error. “An earlier version of this story mischaracterized what the victim’s sister was trying to convey. She was calling for peace in her community, urging the protesters to go elsewhere,” CNN told The Washington Examiner.Bottom of Form

    :lol: Fox is far worse, but it doesn't have foreign and domestic disinformation agents and fake news purveyors targeting it and creating silly attacks like this one, which you apparently copy-pasted from dailycaller.com, one of the countless sites dedicated to disseminating alt-right disinformation.

    I thought the media was lousy during Bush 43 but this blows the lid off. I invite you to check on youtube today (every day if you want) to see the PBS shameful broadcast. Rather than present news, they presented a break Trump's balls show. it is worse than what the left says about FOX news. All PBS does daily is run Trump down.

    "PRESIDENT TRUMP'S MSM COVERAGE IS OVER 90% NEGATIVE"

    sounds accurate to me, wouldn't it be nice if Trump did positives stuff more often then 10% of the time

    be like Nixon complaining about all the bad press he is getting... be a good person

    First of all, the very idea that you think you can list enough mistakes to impugn a whole news organization by posting examples is just plain ridiculous.

    Second of all, several of these are pure allegations. The Trump tower stories of Trump, Don Jr, and others have raddically changed over and over again, meaning that ANY reporting on them is going to be wrong in some sense, because of the MASSIVE lies of the Trump cabal.

    Third, one of the signs of legitimate news reporting is that when mistakes are made they result in retractions with explanation. YOU show that CNN does this - demonstrating its quality. And, again, some of their retractions have come because of the changing stories being told to reporters and analysts by the principles.

    Why do people think the President makes or breaks the economy when the Federal Reserve controls interest rates? Central banks decide when the economy grows by lowering interest rates to promote borrowing and new investment (e.g. new houses). Then central banks take it all away by suddenly raising interest rates, and everyone puts their money in the bank. Suddenly there is no one who wants to buy into the new investments.

    This is how you portray someone as the underdog. That is the result of constantly bashing Trump. All media outlets are working to create the impression that everyone is out to get him, that he couldn't possibly be a stooge.

    Anyone who thinks that 90% negative MSM coverage of Trump (or ANY POTUS) is justified and objective when that POTUS is not leading the country into war, is in office during a time of relative prosperity, and is creating no drastic fundamental changes in our system of government is either a moron, a purposeful liar or more likely a world-class Drama Queen running on pure feefees and no reasoning. No d) option.

    The Liberal Media spent 2,202 minutes on the fake Russia Collusion Scandal and ZERO MINUTES on the BI-PARTISAN NO COLLUSION SENATE REPORT !!!! The rest of the Fake News is in post #30

    Why not just kill those journalists we don't like? We've already started doing that in the Middle East using the Sauds as our catspaws. Here Trump is actually improving on Putin, his mentor.

    People ridiculing President Trump are suffering from cognitive dissonance. Stop watching CNN and MSNBC. I was a die- hard- toe- the- party- line Democrat since Carter then 2 ½ years ago I started watching Fox News and started hearing News that wasn’t even being mentioned on the Liberal MSM and I began to realize the extreme biases and outright lies being told by the liberal MSM. Do me a favor try watching Tucker, Hannity, and Ingraham for one week and then decide whose presenting the more truthful narrative. What have you got to lose but some ill-conceived ideas and beliefs accumulated from years of irrational Liberal Brainwashing. Don’t you get tired of the irrational imbecilic B.S. put out by The Trump Hating Liberal Media !

    I gave you articles from a google page all of which referenced Fox articles as wrong and one of which, the Snopes entry, specifcially referenced a Fox article.

    I am sorry if there are so many examples of Fox's deceit that it becomes confusing even to cite them.
