Mainstream Media Coverage of Trump 95% Negative: New Study

Headlines Politics U.S.

In a new study released today the Media Research Center (MRC) has found that news coverage of President Trump is 95% negative.

“I’ve been studying the news media and elections for more than 35 years. Trust me — there’s never been anything like it,” said Rich Noyes, research director for MRC, a conservative media watchdog.

The study shows that the main broadcast networks, ABC, CBS and NBC, aired 9x as much coverage of Mr. Trump than Joe Biden, and 95% of that coverage was negative.

From MRC:

If you consider the evening newscasts a reliable gauge of the liberal media at large (cable news, big newspapers, etc.), it means Biden has enjoyed an army of so-called journalists conducting a massive negative information campaign against his opponent, while he is sheltered from any scrutiny. Controversies from the spring, such as allegations from former staffer Tara Reade that he sexually assaulted her in the 1990s, completely disappeared from his evening news coverage in June and July.
