Harvard Study Reveals Huge Anti-Trump Media Bias
Harvard Study Proves Trump Was Right About Negative Media Coverage
The Mainstream Media isn’t even pretending to be objective anymore. Fox news at 52% negative and 48% positive… sounds almost balanced in their reporting. They still lean negative though.
From Heat Street:
A major new study out of Harvard University has revealed the true extent of the mainstream media’s bias against Donald Trump.
Academics at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy analyzed coverage from Trump’s first 100 days in office across 10 major TV and print outlets.
It found that the tone of some outlets was negative in as many as 98% of reports, significantly more hostile than the first 100 days of the three previous administrations:
In America they analyzed CNN, NBC, CBS, Fox News, the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.
They also took into account the BBC, the UK’s Financial Times and the German public broadcaster ARD.
Every outlet was negative more often than positive.
Only Fox News, which features some of Trump’s most enthusiastic supporters and is often given special access to the President, even came close to positivity.
Fox was ranked 52% negative and 48% positive.
The study also divided news items across topics. On immigration, healthcare, and Russia, more than 85% of reports were negative.
On the economy, the proportion was more balanced – 54% negative to 46% positive:
The study highlighted one exception: Trump got overwhelmingly positive coverage for launching a cruise missile attack on Syria.
Around 80% of all reports were positive about that.
The picture was very different for other recent administrations. The study found that President Obama’s first 100 got positive good overall – with 59% of reports positive.
Bill Cinton and George W Bush got overall negative coverage, it found, but to a much lesser extent than Trump. Clinton’s first 100 days got 40% positivity, while Bush’s got 43%:
Trump has repeatedly claimed that his treatment by the media is unprecedented in its hostility. This study suggests that, at least in recent history, he’s right.
Loyal Soldier
The Wikileaks Emails just got scarier and scarier!
I call her ‘Queen Hillary’ all the time, because that’s how she acts – like she’s already the glorious ruler of America and we all should bow down and kiss her feet. But with all these WikiLeaks emails coming out, it’s more like she’s the leader of some brainwashed cult and her followers are all these lobotomized robots.
Joking about it is one thing. It’s spooky seeing it in real life.
In this email from one of the Queen’s minions, the person email John Podesta insists that they are a “loyal soldier” because Hillary’s done so much for them (the email address is “ntanden at gmail.com” – no other identifiers are included in the email). And if this doesn’t read like some loyal Clinton cult member, I don’t know what does –
#NotACult
Also, there’s this email from John Podesta to the rest of the Queen’s Loyal Soldiery saying that they could TOTALLY plant news stories with members of the media who are favorable to Hillary. People like Maggie Haberman of the New York Times and who also is a correspondent for CNN and Politco –
As discussed on our call, we are all in agreement that the time is right to place a story with a friendly journalist in the coming days that positions us a little more transparently while achieving the above goals.
Who:
For something like this, especially in the absence of us teasing things out to other, we feel that it’s important to go with what has worked in the past, as to a publication that will reach industry people for recruitment purposes.We have has[sic] a very good relationship with Maggie Haberman of Politico over the last year. We have had her tee up stories for us before and have never been disappointed.
The Mainstream Media Tries To Manufacture a War Between Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin
The main point is the State-Run Media is bashing Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin for something a top Democrat said. This is “journalism” in present day America.
Yahoo, Obama’s internet mouthpiece for the masses!
I loved Rush’s observation that Rahm Emanuel calls Democrats retarded and then has to apologize to retarded people.
Barack Obama (D-Kenya) Learns About One of His Intelligence Agencies During a Burger Run
How many states are there again? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?
On his trip to get a burger with Brian Williams at Five Guys this afternoon, the President appears to have learned of the existence of a Defense Department intelligence arm, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, from an agency employee also at the burger restaurant.
“So explain to me exactly what this National Geospatial…” Obama said, after the worker mentioned his employer, according to a video of the event.
“We work with, uh, satellite imagery,” the worker, Walter replied.
The transcript:
Obama: What do you do Walter?
Walter: I work at, uh, NGA, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
Obama: Outstanding, how long you been doing that?
Walter: About six years
Obama: Yea?
Walter: Yes.
Obama: You like it?
Walter: I do, keeps me…
Obama: So explain to me exactly what this National Geospatial…uh…
Walter: Uh, we work with, uh, satellite imagery..
Obama: Right
Walter: [unintelligible] …support systems, so…
Obama: Sounds like good work.
Walter: Enjoy the weekend.
Obama: Appreciate it.According to the Defense Department:
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is a Department of Defense combat support agency and a member of the national Intelligence Community (IC). NGA develops imagery and map-based intelligence solutions for U.S. national defense, homeland security and safety of navigation.
NGA provides timely, relevant and accurate geospatial intelligence in support of national security objectives. The term “geospatial intelligence” means the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to describe, assess and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on the Earth. Geospatial intelligence consists of imagery, imagery intelligence and geospatial (e.g., mapping, charting and geodesy) information.
Guess they’re not getting much airtime in the President’s Daily Brief.
