The Media Research Center decided to take a look at coverage of Donald Trump by the “Big Three” (ABC, CBS and NBC) in his first 30 days in office to see how much they covered him and if they displayed any bias one way or the other. Well, unsurprisingly to anyone who’s bothered to flip on the news anytime recently, MRC certainly found some bias and it certainly did not favor Trump.
The first thing MRC points out in its analysis is just how “obsessed” the Big Three are over Trump. In his first 30 days of office, MRC analysts found that the networks dedicated 16 hours of their evening news coverage to Trump; in other words, “more than half (54%) of all of the news coverage during this period.”
