Is Media Coverage Of Trump Getting More Fair? Study: Actually, It’s Worse.

John Bickley

The Media Research Center has been tracking the big news networks’ coverage of President Trump since he first took office, and the conservative media watchdog has found a remarkably consistent pattern: overwhelmingly negative coverage of Trump at a rate of about nine-to-one negative to good. MRC’s latest study found that the overtly biased coverage trend has continued; in fact, it’s ticked up a notch.

Over the course of the last four months, Newsbusters reports, MRC found that “broadcast networks have continued to pound Donald Trump and his team with the most hostile coverage of a President in TV news history — 92 percent negative, vs. just eight percent positive.” MRC’s previous studies found the bias rate to be about 91%.
