Harvard Study Reveals Huge Extent of Anti-Trump Media Bias

Presently the US news media is hell bent on destroying and delegitimizing a democratically and legitimately elected president. The sheeple will follow.

Think about the danger of that for a minute.

But the Trump supporters that you so elegantly malign here can tell you WHY they are willing to support Trump. It has nothing to do with his personality, style, or characterizations of things which is what most of the anti-Trump people exclusively focus on.

We LIKE his choice for the Supreme Court.
We WANT illegal immigration to be brought under control and the laws enforced.
We WANT jobs, a healthy economy, and opportunity, choices, and options for all.
We WANT trade policy that is as good for us as it is for everybody else.
Etc.

The prim, proper, righteous, sanctimonious, status quo politically correct sure as heck haven't accomplished any of that. So if he goes about it differently than the feckless people who should have already done it go about it, we are willing to cut him some slack to see if he can do better.

Those who hate him aren't willing to cut him any slack and in fact are throwing up roadblocks as fast as they can and trying to discredit him as much as they can.

I honestly believe they are terrified that he might get it done and that would leave them having to eat a lot of crow and wash a lot of egg off of their faces.

Our media is owned by a handful of rich and powerful people. They use it to control the simple minded people of this country. Trump is disrupting their control. What do you expect the media to do? One thing we can be sure of is they will not start reporting accurately and honestly. They are doing what is expected. Everything and anything to bring Trump down.

I'll be happy to retroactively remove "Hitler" and put in the Bob Dylan album "Self Portrait." It doesn't pack the same punch, but if it makes you happy, it's a perfectly acceptable substitution.

Having trouble admitting you were overly hyperbolic? Why yes, I think you are.

They are both liars, you will get no argument about that from me. One, though, is your typical lying politician while the other is an impulsive liar who thinks the National Enquirer is a reputable source. I don't stand by Clinton, why do you stand by Trump? And don't say it is because of the media. Lots of people hate the media and Trump.

The response to President Trumps victory exposes the corruption and threat liberal/socialist progressive globalists pose to the Nation. That is my main purpose for support.

Everyday, politicians, the media, and political ideologues, expose themselves, and provide an opportunity for voters to make decisions.

How else would people have been able to learn of the massive embrace of Liberal Fascism that has occurred among followers on the left?

How else would people learn of the shadow government operatives who have been placed deep within the system, and completely insulated from any legal oversight?

I could go on and on.

The fact is, the swamp needs cleaning, and Trump is exposing the sewer rats who are not only fine with the stench, but hope to spread it.

Seems to me people died on his rescue attempt and that it involved a couple helicopters going down, and yes Trump has pretty much crashed and burned thus far. You like him and that is all well and good, but seating a Justice is the only thing he has been successful at that wasn't some arbitrary executive order to rescind an Obama Executive Order.

Obviously you are woefully informed, and that is your right.

It doesn't make for good debate prep, or good debate, so I will it at that.

So your thinking is that Trump is writing these stories himself and leaking them to the press just because he gets to see his name in the headlines? Really?

This post is incredibly ironic seeing as it's essentially exactly what Trump does on twitter.
 
Didn't need a study, just need two eyes, two ears, and a shred of intellectual honesty.

Overall 80% negative coverage of Trump with CNN, NBC and CBS all more than 90% negative coverage in the first 100 days. Also, Obama's favorable coverage was FAR in excess than the last four presidents. The bias is....unsettling.

Or it could just be that 90% of the actions and quotes coming out of the Trump Administration are negative. For example, if I had a giant pile of human excrement outside of my house, you could say that it might make good fertilizer, which would be positive, but everything else about it would be negative.

Take away Trump's twitter account, and you could probably cut out half of his negative coverage. Hey party of "individual responsibilities", take some responsibility for your guys failures both as a president and as a human being.
