Rasmussen Poll: Who do you think is fake news? Fox News 40%, CNN 25%, MSNBC 9%

The implication of this post is that it'd only be FAIR coverage if it was equally positive than negative.  Of course that's silly - firstly the coverage of most politicians generally skews towards being very negative (I do wonder what the numbers would be for Clinton in the last election) because generally there are always scandal about and people are shockingly always more interested to read about what people do wrong than what they do right.

The underlined part is very true.

False 'balance' in the media is literally killing American democracy. If anything the coverage of Trump has been far too uncritical

Yep. There's a good thread going around on Twitter about this. For the purposes of this thread, please don't get lost in the weeds about the tax bill: The point is what it has to say about the media. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/936687242373865472

No surprise as Fox is the sole republican leaning network and all the others lean democrat, splitting up the responses from republicans.

CNN is leaning Democrat? LOL.

A Harvard study found their coverage of Trump was 93% negative. Totally impartial and nonpartisan. LOL

Here's the full image, without the bits you cut off the top and bottom:


For those with actual trouble reading the fine print, it says: Source:Media Tenor, January 20-April 29, 2017. Percentages exclude news reports that were neutral in tone, which accounted for about a third of the reports.


Such bias. Because President Trump had such a successful first few months in office.

BTW, I found it here, where there's a lot to be said about the context the Trump cultist there likely saw it:
