Your side has the #1 TV network giving him overwhelmingly positive coverage all day, 2 of the 4 largest newspapers, virtually all of the radio. Clearly your number is BS, as Trump KKKultists rarely, if ever, hear anything negative about Trump, further reinforcing their belief that he can do no wrong.

The calculation represents 474 evaluative comments of Trump on network television news during May 2020.  If you're looking for confirmation that the self-appointed, Ivy-Leagued gatekeepers of our political discourse despise Trump, look no further than this metric.  The fact that the one contrarian voice on television is the top-rated cable network just demonstrates how far left the "Big Three" are from the average citizen. 

You know as well as I do that the vast majority of comments about Trump on FoxNews are positive.

I never said they weren't; Fox has a very obvious pro-Trump slant just like the national networks and publications (i.e., NYT, The Atlantic, etc.) have an obvious anti-Trump one.  However, only one of these groups serves as the mouthpiece for a cultural and economic elite that is, at best, willingly indifferent to the concerns of the vast majority of average Americans.

"99% of all media evaluations of Jim Jones in November 1978 were negative. This demonstrates a clear anti-Jones bias in the media."

I've argued with Fuzzy before about this flawed form of logic you are using.

The media isn't 100% unbiased, but it isn't even 10% as hackish for Democrats as you claim. They (mostly) just report the news. If good things happen - for example a cure for cancer / COVID / alsheimers - the coverage will be positive. If a bunch of people die in a freak accident, the coverage will be negative. This is common sense. If Trump actually does something good, they will cover it at least somewhat positively (see: middle east peace deals, "this is the night where Trump became president"). If Trump lies, abuses his power illegally or does his job so badly that people die, the coverage will be negative. Again, this is common sense.

Your POTUS is doing so many bad things that the correct unbiased and politically neutral analysis should indeed be negative. Stop framing it as partisanship.

So 99% of news events are negative?  That's ridiculous and (even if it was the case) that's not what the MRC study is capturing.  445 of 474 evaluative comments about Trump on network news were negative; what is being captured goes beyond reporting "bad event XYZ happened" to "Trump is bad because XYZ".  During the same period of time, there were only 81 evaluative comments of Joe Biden.  The sheer discrepancy in the amount of coverage (even ignoring its slant) alone shows that something is amiss.       

And FYI, objective facts cannot be reported without some bias read into them.  There's no objective arrangement of facts that exist outside of the journalist's bias (liberal or conservative), and the primary role of journalism itself is to provide narrative and context to observable events.  That role is inherently biased.   
It's an accumulation of Trump f___ing up and lying day in and day out for four years (those are objective facts) that have shown Trump to be objectively worthy of criticism and people having a low opinion of him, newspeople included. That doesn't mean they are going to go out of their way to twist something to make Trump look bad, and it doesn't mean they aren't giving him credit in the rare times that credit is due.

"99%" (if that is the factual number) of comments on Trump are negative because he's failed the country, lied constantly and hasn't taken his job seriously enough. Anybody who is passionate about America who examines the evidence should have negative things to say about Trump.

When Trump gets "fact checked" for saying things like "America's COVID response is the best in the world" or "no president has been better for the Black community than I have," it is impossible to apply a binary "true" or "false" evaluation because the claim is inherently debatable.  The criteria for assessing the claim are nessecarily determined with bias.  These types of statements represent the vast majority of where reporters ding Trump's honesty.  More objective factual errors Trump's stated, like the frequency of military pay raises, are at least more forgivable in the sense that our prior president said many things to similar effect.   

When your very premise begins with Trump "has failed the country," you're bound to be unfair in your evaluation of him.

 Michael Caputo has taken a mental health leave of absence. So does anybody still care to defend his statements?

Del Tachi has fallen off the deep end. He's turned into a complete Trump hack. Such a shame.

TBF, I think it's more that Del Tachi has always been a complete GOP hack and because Trump has taken over the GOP, he has by extension become a Trump hack.

I don't think this is right. He opposed Chris McDaniel and voted Hillary in 2016. Something happened in the last couple years to flip him to an openly shameless hack.

Something did very well happen.   TDS has turned the entire Democratic Party and MSM completely inane.  There's no room for an honest defense of Trump's positions or policies because his detractors consider his mere existence the existential threat of our era.  

They're indefensible.

Donald Trump's presidency has...

1. Caused thousands of Americans to die preventable deaths from COVID-19

2. Plunged American cities into chaos with divisive rhetoric that enables and promotes racism

3. Exploded the national debt through reckless tax cuts and increased spending, including on the pandemic that he failed to control

4. Refused to respond to any natural disasters (Hurricane Maria, the wildfires in California and Oregon) because he's a petty, venal man who doesn't think he owes anything to states that did not vote for him

What has Donald Trump accomplished other than giving tax cuts to rich people?

The wall does not exist, and Obamacare is still here. Trump is a complete failure. If you don't want to be impeached or investigated, don't go around colluding with the Russians, extorting the Ukrainians and don't break the law. Trump is the most corrupt criminal President the US has ever had.

He's probably right.  The public health intelligentsia doesn't want America to get better until when/if a Democrat is president.
Stage Four...
It’s terminal at this point.

So what would this be if it was true?  They clearly at the very least went against the goal of the executive order if it was true, which it may not have been.
 DC is 95% D and the  inner ring suburbs are like 75% D. Of course the workers are middle management would be mostly Democrats and want Biden as president. I would not go as far as the idiot here that said that their main policy right now is to make Trump lose but there is definitely a resistance aspect in these large government agencies as its just a natural part for any Republican executive to deal with due to the nature of government jobs although probably a bit more for Trump.

Is there even such a thing as "head cancer"?

Why not?  It apparently started in his throat and metastasized.  Though I guess it's not brain cancer, so he's probably crazy even without the cancer.

He is an existential threat to America. He's the most brazenly corrupt president we've ever had. If there's anything to be disturbed by, it's the way his cultish fanbase refuses to admit he's ever done anything wrong and regards any criticism, no matter how valid, as a global conspiracy against him and "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

The fact that you saw through him for years, but then willingly joined the cult several years in is sick.

Trump is an existential threat only insomuch that his 2016 campaign's unexpected success represents a break in reality for the elite citadels of DC, New York and Hollywood (Republican or Democrat).  No other president has been subject to such an onslaught of media bias or legal investigation, and yet the best case a Democratic House could come up with for impeachment was an amorphous "abuse of power" and newly-fangled "obstruction of Congress."  Just ask the Clintons, if you look hard and long enough you are bound to find something approaching scandal.

DC! New York! Hollywood! Media bias!

Throw in antifa comedy tea, and you'll win it Trump ass kisser bingo.

Also, The narrative that the media is anti-trump is one of the most stubborn right-wing myths I've ever seen. The mainstream media is neither anti-trump nor pro-trump, they're pro-sensationalism and he's a very sensationalist president. Two peas in a pod.

An amazing 99% of all media evaluations of Trump in May 2020 were negative.  No campaign by Biden could match the media's 24/7 onslaught of Trump.   

 the link to the article you cited is broken so I can't comment on the specifics of whatever I'm short totally balanced and in-depth unbiased Source you cited. However, simple logic dictates that Fox News alone makes that 99% figure and absolute statistical improbability by any realistic measure. I repeat, statistically impossible. He'll oann alone would blow that 99% figure out of the water, and that doesn't even count various trumpy sounding newspapers like the New York Post.



More importantly, as previously pointed out oh, you don't expect favorable reviews for a dumpster fire. It doesn't mean the media is pro dumpster fire, it means the reporting on buy what is any non hacks objective View a colossal failure of a presidency, and the news reports right themselves.

If Trump doesn't want unfavorable media coverage, maybe he should quit f****** up for even 30 seconds.

Comparing coverage a Fox News 2 the Atlantic and New York Times combined circulation is like comparing watermelons and raisins. Quit your whining over the media supposedly unfairly reporting your colossal f*** up president as being a colossal fu#k up.
