A Harvard study published Thursday has revealed a dramatic anti-Trump bias in the media, with major outlets including CNN and NBC producing more than 90 percent negative coverage of Trump’s first 100 days in office.

Free press? Is that why most media outlets are owned by a total of 5 large corporations and they are trying to shut down FOX news ? Wake up.
Shutting down FOX news would be a public service. According to 2 university studies, my German Shepherd is better informed than a FOX news viewer.

How is that a mistake? Did everyone in the paper miss the fact they were headlining the loser instead of the winner? How does a mistake like that occur? How many "mistakes" like that has the NYT made that favor Conservatives?

I agree with you about the corporatization of the media. I don't think it is healthy to have a few companies control the media.

But then you lose me...

FOX News is also a large corporate conglomerate. That Fox's competitors are trying to shut it down is wrong and frankly silly. What is happening at Fox is they are looking at the bottom line and its reputation. That is why changes are being made there.

Another misleading headline and useless poll. That says NPR informs better - if you are mindless liberal it likely does.

"Dan Cassino, professor of political science at the university and director of experimental research, says the findings have been distorted and manipulated by the media." Bingo.

Newspapers and media outlets publish retractions when mistakes are made. Whether a headline you disagree with constitutes a mistake is debatable.

One unartfully drafted headline, however, does not take away from the outstanding journalism that paper is renowned for.

Of course running with lies, has nothing to do with it, even after the office they accused comes out and says that did not happen....remember a certain office asked for more money.....was it true? It did not matter....

Having panels of people for days and days about "what if he's impeached" and "what will happen then" when every body and their brother says there is nothing there....even the left ....

Yea, that's not even attempting to hold him accountable, it's about their dreams and wants.......but hey, if you cannot see that and think that is really news and it's o.k. to run with stuff without substantiation....have at it...

No, it's not. It's asking ridiculous questions and speculating while dropping ominous phrases like "criminal", "collusion ", 'reasonable doubt". It's impossible to prove a negative so the media is having fun.

My turn. Did Anderson Cooper kill JonBenet? He's refused to address this. Maybe he did. We need an investigation.
