Reporting the obvious: U.S. media hostile to Trump

Study reviews 588 news stories on ABC, CBS, NBC

Donald Trump has made no secret that he thinks the American media is in the pocket of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

The Guardian of London on Tuesday cited Trump’s statements that the media are part of a “rigged system” that is “trying to undermine his candidacy.”

The sarcastic piece by Ben Jacobs pointed out that Trump said “the press he described as being composed of ‘thieves and crooks,’ may be even more corrupt than the rival whom he has repeatedly derided as ‘Crooked Hillary.'”

It turns out, according to a new study, that whatever ethical lapses may be present in the gamut of media entities, they certainly are one-sided.

In fact, “hostile” to Trump, according to a study by the Media Research Center.

“In the twelve weeks since the party conventions concluded in late July, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has received significantly more broadcast network news coverage than his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, but nearly all of that coverage (91 percent) has been hostile,” the report said.

I can't even stand to watch it anymore. The reporting is very hostile to Trump, they won't even talk about the corruption concerning the Clinton's and the revelations concerning what was said in the email per Wikileaks.
They are not deigning the emails are lies, but are trying to blame the Russians for the leak, but the fact is they won't address the total corruption and wrong doing that was done. Lesser men and woman have been jailed for what they have been allowed to get away with!
I really fear for this Country and my home and family. I, like others feel this election will be rigged in favor of Clinton. Either case, this will not end well!

I would have never believed it but you have to be very stupid or blind not see it . Not a big Trump fan but man the press steps on each other to drag him thru the dirt . I have been paying a lot closer attention and the press is way overboard to nail him . Sad what the press can get away with.
