Press coverage of Trump in first month of office: 88 percent ‘hostile,’ says new study

Poor Tricky Trumpy

Having the press just kick him around for no reason.

After he was so nice to them and all........

You just hate him because he won.

My personal feelings have nothing to do with it. The hatred toward the MSM from Trump's campaign is being paid back in spades. Just like Tricky Dick.

Paid back? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Seemed pretty clear to me and the majority of Americans that the media were in the bag for Clinton. Hardly journalistic or transparent.

The media got Trump elected ! They've been covering his every bowel movement for the last 18months !

They certainly helped. Each time they falsely accused him of something, another Independent pounded another nail in the Clinton coffin.

I don't hate him. However he is a despicable human being.

Do you make it a habit of taking things personally? I never said that to you, and yet you respond as if I did.

You're the one who said "you hate him"...which 'you' were you talking about?

Very impressive display of stupid.

You're the one making shit up. What has the mainstream press lied about with Trump? I can post lie and lie after lie Trump and his deplorables have rambled on about.

The following are your words.
The press give him a hard time because he's a deplorable douche. It's not their fault he's a fuckwit. It is not the job of the press to give someone a hard time because of their personality. To state that is the reason for how they cover Trump and even worse to possibly believe it is stupid of the highest order. Good day to you.

My point was - which obviously went over your head - is that they are only reporting what he does and says. The fact he says and does deplorable things is not the press's fault. It's his. Maybe they would cover him better if he stopped being a fuckwit.

I don't hate him. However he is a despicable human being.

Why?

1. Because he belittles women.
2. Because he is incurious and vacuous.
3. Because he is narcissistic (which in itself isn't bad in that we all are to an extent - be takes it's to a new, disgusting level).
4. Because he is thin skinned and concerns himself with such inconsequential shit (tweeting after SNL/anything that criticises him, and then talking about the new version of the Apprentice ratings at a church event - WTF??).
5. Because he can't take criticism
6. Because he lies constantly.
7. Because he thinks he knows more than the Intel community
8. Because he pretends he is the friend of the poor, when he has dedicated his whole life to ingratiating himself and his family and no-one else
9. Because he ripped off people at Trump university and thought it okay
10. Because he marginalises credible news outlets, while thinking Fake News sites like Breibart are credible
11. Because he hasn't a clue when it comes to cabinet picks. Flynn is already gone. Now Pence and Sessions are in the firing line. We are only six weeks into his presidency.

And that's just off the top of my head. If I did research, I'd be here for at least a couple of hours.

Most of your listed items are just as applicable to petulant former President Barack Hussein Obama. Your others are subjective.

2-8 and 11 all apply to President Obama.

Number 10 is demonstrably true.

However, your desperation is duly noted!

Number 1? Based on guys talking. Nothing.

Total utter crap. I can give you example after example proving my points. If you can, do the same with regard to Obama. Take your time. Without having to do any research I can prove one of your counterpoints wrong. Point 4 - Obama tweeted all the time? Really?

Ummm, see posts 2 & 3. The answer to your question should become immediately clear. If not, I cannot help you.

Trump has to act like a President who cares for all of the people and the country's welfare.

He does not.

I dare say you'd be hard pressed to find one that did.

For anyone who has seen the movie Casablanca (if you haven't seen it I highly recommend it, maybe the greatest movie of all time), the media response is similar, you can guess who the media is:

"I am shocked, shocked! To find out gambling is going on in here!
Casino Worker: "Your winnings sir"
"Oh, thank you very much"

Press coverage of Trump in first month of office: 88 percent ‘hostile,’ says new study

There was no press honeymoon for President Trump during his first month in office. A meticulous new study by the Media Research Center finds that 88 percent of the broadcast news coverage of Mr. Trump and his team was “hostile” during the first 30 days of office.

The coverage was intense and plentiful. The study, which analyzed both tone and content for evening newscasts on ABC, NBC and CBS, found that the “Big Three” networks produced 16 hours of coverage on the new president and his staff. That is over half — 54 percent — of their total coverage for the month.

“Our measure of media tone excludes soundbites from identified partisans, focusing instead on tallying the evaluative statements made by reporters and the nonpartisan talking heads (experts and average citizens) included in their stories,” write Rich Noyes, research director for the conservative press watchdog, and fellow analyst Mike Ciandella.

“In their coverage of Trump’s first month, the networks crowded their stories with quotes from citizens angry about many of his policies, while providing relatively little airtime to Trump supporters.” the pair noted. “And the networks’ anchors and reporters often injected their own anti-Trump editorial tone into the coverage. ‘It has been a busy day for presidential statements divorced from reality,’ CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley snidely began his February 6 broadcast.

“A new American president is always a big story, but TV news is obsessed with the Trump administration — and not in a good way,” they observed.

So what? Is there a law against media outlets having political opinions?

"See if you notice a pattern here.

July 21, 2016: Donald J. Trump becomes the Republican nominee for President.

July 29, 2016: The Washington Post and other media outlets begin speculating that Trump and the Russians are in cahoots. This comes after both Trump’s nomination and his public, on camera, not via a backchannel or intermediary encouragement that the Russians leak Clinton’s emails.

November 8, 2016: Donald J. Trump is elected President of the United States.

November 10, 2016: News reports suggest there were contacts with the Russians.

December 16, 2016: The FBI suddenly backs the CIA assessment that Russia tried to influence the American election.

Share this
December 19, 2016: The Electoral College meets and votes to make Donald J. Trump the 45th President of the United States.

December 20, 2016: News about Trump and his Russian connections suddenly diminishes after the Electoral College meets.




December 30, 2016: Days before Congress meets to count the Electoral College votes, suddenly there is more speculation by left-leaning reporters.


January 3, 2017: Congress convenes and counts the Electoral College votes, making the President’s election official.

January 10, 2017: As Washington gears up for the inauguration, suddenly the Russian story is back.

January 20, 2017: Donald Trump is inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States.

Share this
January 21, 2017: The Russia story moves out of the headlines. Though it will continue to percolate and generate stories here and there, it does not have momentum until…


February 28, 2017: President Trump gives a very well received address to the United States Congress.


March 2, 2017: Democrats accuse Attorney General Jeff Sessions of lying about his communications with the Russian Ambassador.

After each and every major event advancing Donald Trump’s presidency, there is another leak to the media about Russia from within the intelligence community. In the run up to the Electoral College; in the run up to the inauguration; and in the aftermath of President Trump’s speech to Congress — each time he has positive headlines someone leaks information about Russia to the press.

That looks an awful lot like someone or some group is trying to delegitimize his Presidency through rumor and allegation."
