Harvard study on Media fairness re: Trump

[Bloody Pulp]

Color me shocked with CNN leading the way with a solid 93% negative coverage.



And then they wonder why people don't trust them and think they've got an agenda.

Obviously CNN & Co are trash but to be fair here, the study itself says nothing about "fairness"

 

[Philo-Publius]

CNN correspondents make wild accusations without understanding the law (or ignoring it). That is why no one trusts them. Here is an honest assessment of some of these accusations from somewhat of an expert on the law (and a Democrat)...

The study in full:

https://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-donald-trumps-first-100-days/

"Since Trump’s inauguration, the press has been paying more attention to Main Street. But judging from the extent to which Trump’s voice has dominated coverage of his presidency, the balance is still off. More voices need to be aired. Trump might be good for ratings but he’s not the only voice worth hearing. Never have journalists fixated on a single newsmaker for as long as they have on Trump"

Well right wing cable channel Fox is still majority negative. Not a big shocker that everything not right wing is not in favor either.


Ever consider that Trump just fucks up all the time?

Whine whine whine

I'm actually not even in the camp that thinks there is some MSM conspiracy. I just think all the smart right wing kids from college graduate and start a business or some STEM career, and all the smart left wing kids get into journalism and soft sciences. Fox news is only like 20 years old, so the left wing got further left once there was some competition and it became tug of war.

A big factor in Trump's popularity is him "rustling jimmies" and triggering liberals.

Then they get upset if he gets negative coverage and act like he's a victim.

It's almost as if Fox News was the only network to be... fair and balanced?

 

[K1levelgrappler]

Maybe Trump gets negative media coverage because he's shit? Arsonists get negative media coverage too but I never hear about the media being biased against lighting stuff on fire.

This is true. A very obvious fact.

So CNN doesn't collude directly with the democratic party?

 

[Teen Wolf]

Well if he stopped saying stupid shit and doing stupid shit then it might be better.

 

[nostradumbass]

So CNN doesn't collude directly with the democratic party?

They do, but only because they already agree with them. It's not like they had real journalism and were talked out of it.

I don't know about the devil but he's literally hitler according to lots of liberals.

That's a pretty accurate point.
