Newsflash: Being an asshole will get you worse press coverage. Also, Obama wasn't always a media darling.

Remember when we were supposed to run out of food by the 80's? Why do we now see nothing but fatties?

"Study finds harsh media coverage for Obama" But it took a "Study" to find it. :tomato:

Well the only way to quantify facts is to do a study.

 

[GromsDad]

The only reason this was studied and is being reported on is to try to change perception of what people saw with their own eyes.

No it’s called historical context dummy.

Studies are for losers!

Feelings matter!

Seriously.

And to think that I posted objective factual information that actually supported GromsDad's claim that Trump is covered much more negatively than Obama.

Almost everyone in the USA and in the world hates Donald Trump.

Trump subscribes to the "It's not me, it's everyone else" fallacy.

 

[Lance Mannion]

Almost everyone in the USA and in the world hates Donald Trump.

More specifically, every snotty "liberal/progressive" in the world hates Donald Trump.

Cut him some slack, how could he possibly compete with a man with so much personality that he was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize just for being himself?

Trump has personality. He is lacking integrity. He is a criminal. And he stiffs people he makes contracts with. He is, in the words of GDaddy, an asshole.

here is a missing metric that is worth throwing into your analysis - where did the media companies place their bets prior to the election:

Among the United States' 100 largest newspapers by paid circulation, 57 endorsed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, while only two, the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Florida Times-Union, endorsed Trump. Four (the Chicago Tribune, the Detroit News, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and the Charleston (South Carolina) Post and Courier) endorsed Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, while three other newspapers (USA Today, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel) specifically discouraged their readers from voting for Trump.

So, my boy Gary got more endorsements than Trump in the top tier

Here are the Totals

Clinton - 500
Trump - 28
Johnson - 9

So I am shocked, shocked to hear that Trump got unfavorable coverage in the early part of his term
