Wow... Two media bias studies in one day and both covering Trump's first 4 weeks in office.
This time the study was conducted by the Media Research Center and they evaluated the tone (whether comments were positive or negative) of the news coverage President Trump received from CBS, NBC and ABC. The MRC excluded "soundbites from identified partisans, focusing instead on tallying the evaluative statements made by reporters and the non-partisan talking heads (experts and average citizens) included in their stories."
Not surprisingly, 88% of the 762 comments made were negative, which works out to nearly an 8 to 1 ratio of negative comments to positive ones.
