Hmmm...they did give him a lot of free coverage and talked about him a ton (and dumped on Hillary a bunch) but I wouldn't call that "favoritism" Title: Re: Who did the media favor in each election?

1964: LBJ 1968: Humphrey (which is prob why it ended up being so close) 1972: Nixon 1976: Carter (Ford was often parodied as a bumbling fool) 1980: Reagan (Less so in the beginning of the campaign) 1984: Reagan 1988: HW (this became apparent in the debates when Dukakis was asked whether he'd still oppose the death penalty if his wife was raped and murdered...) 1992: "Comeback Kid" Bill Clinton 1996: Clinton 2000: W 2004: Kerry 2008: Obama 2012: Obama 2016: You could argue Trump. Since they badly wanted a horserace and felt Hillary was going to have a landslide otherwise. But of course, most media personalities wanted her to win.

The press were big fans of Nixon in his 60', 68', and 72' election bids: Quote In 1960, Nixon was endorsed over Kennedy by seventy-eight per cent of the country’s newspapers that took a position on the election; in 1968, Nixon got eighty per cent of whatever editorial support was expressed; and in 1972 he got ninety-three per cent. (Like Kennedy, Nixon has probably meant to criticize certain powerful Eastern newspapers that he feels have not been sympathetic to him, but, unlike Kennedy, he has publicly and repeatedly attacked “the press” and “the media,” without naming the newspapers and columnists and network commentators he feels have been unfair, and so has left the impression in the public mind that the press as a whole cannot be trusted.) And President Nixon was also treated with uncommon charity by the press after he took office. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1973/10/01/the-presidency-and-the-press The right-wing has been bitching about the media (which is largely favorable to them anyway) since forever. Truth is that New Deal Democrats largely hated the press and vice versa. FDR absolutely hated the press and relentlessly attacked them (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/another-president-hated-the-media-even-more-than-trump-does) Title: Re: Who did the media favor in each election?
