Just because some networks have negative coverage of somebody, does not mean they aren't "balanced." It may just be that the person they are covering really, truly is a moron who deserves every bit of scorn he receives. If networks have negative coverage of a moron, they're just being honest. If any network has negative or even just 50-50 coverage of a moron, THEY are the ones who are actually unbalanced.
I also agree with this.
If Fox is covering more "positive" stories then it would make me think they have a positive bias for him. I don't watch cable TV but I do know that nearly every print news source and online outlet and even the morning show I watch (CBS) they do speak about Trump but the TV show in particular, they don't say anything overly biased against him in the morning. They just report on what he is doing/saying. Unfortunately, much of what he says and does is negative - like the Charlottesville re-hash that he did yesterday that is now in the media today. There was no reason for him to speak about Charlottesville. Any reasonable person would seek to put that behind him and move on IMO. And I could see if he just mentioned it a smidgeon in his "rally" (which it is odd that he is having rallies so soon after becoming president, it is very strange!) he spoke about it for nearly 30 minutes! So of course the media will talk about it. Media follows every president. The more boring they are and sane, the less likely they will be in the press.

The problem with your argument is that every single thing you just said about "after Obama" were true the day he left office, not because of Trump.
Folks...obviously you dont understand what the study is showing.
If you had some mass murderer that tortured people to death for giggles...would you want to listen to the news that said good things about him 50% of the time? Would THAT be the balanced news you wanted?
I can't believe you people fall for things like this.
Bingo.
Of course Fox isn't hostile to Trump. Hell, they ain't even critical!
Naturally that's gonna be seen as fair to Trump. Duuuuh.

I think things are slightly better than when Obama was in office, but nonetheless, I didn't think there was anything really wrong during Obama either.
Yet if you watch the mainstream news, you'd think our country is...
-Experiencing the aftermath of nuclear war
-The economy has collapsed
-The stock market has collapsed
-It's not safe to interact with someone of a different race
...honestly, nothing has got worse since Trump took over in everyday life, some things are even doing better like our economy and stock market and consumer confidence. The fact that Liberals who watch CNN think our country is now in ruins, is proof enough that the mainstream media is so manipulative, deceiving, fake and just out right disgusting!
They make it act like the KKK has never held a rally until Trump, just look on google, they have had multiple rallies, some turning violent every year. It didn't just start with Trump, but oh boy does the media want to make you think it has!
The problem with most of the media is not that they are hard on Republican politicians, it's that they cover up for and deflect for Democratic politicians

I have yet to meet a liberal who thought the country was in "ruins."
There are, however, many liberals who think the Presidency is in ruin. The presidency is not synonymous with the country.
