Its like a preemptive strike. Calling the media liars before they report his mistakes.

Gee, it's been over an hour and they haven't given us one example of a lie told by any of the major stations. Could they have been just wishing all the things they say were lies, to protect Trump ?

Most people in today's world react just as childish. Next time someone cuts you off in traffic, how do you react? How about cuts in front of you in line? What about when that ref misses a call and strikes out your kid? Your neighbor won't stop dropping F Bombs in front of your 3 year old.

I put his civility on par with most Americans in today's America, with the exception that he's in the public life, not afraid to pull any punches, and has no filters so-to-speak.
No, right, not a baby (0-12 months), probably a screaming toddler (terrible two's) Temper tantrums and all. Most people are childish? I don't know, some are and some aren't. He's the President and needs to rise above his base level instincts (Primal brain) and start using his Cerebral Cortex more. No filters, true. He's a loud mouth and course person.

You can deny the existence of media bias, although if you just turn on CNN you'll see a all-day all-the-time diatribe against Trump, it's good to find a study from a pre-dominantly liberal college backing up what we've been saying for years.

80% of the coverage in Trumps first 100 days was negative compared to 20% positive. This number would be higher of course if they hadn't included FOX news into the mix, but in the order of fairness, I'm glad they included FOX.

That’s a big change from the past. When the Chosen One, Barack Obama, completed his first 100 days, a similar study found that coverage was 59 percent positive, 41 percent negative. Skewed, but not that bad. The numbers were flipped for George W. Bush, of course: 57 percent negative, 43 percent positive. For Bill Clinton, way back in 1993, in the days when news was news (which means reporters were hard on the president regardless of his political affiliation), the coverage was 60 percent negative, 40 percent positive.

The worst offender was CBS in which 91% of their coverage of Trump was negative. Only 9% positive... Sad that so many in the media cannot support a President, or at least do their jobs, which is remain impartial and just report the news...

Here's the article: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...verage-is-neg/
An overwhelming amount of bad coverage does not necessarily mean anything on its own.

It's certainly possible that the base level is bad because that reflects the reality. That would not be "bias", unless you think reporting reality is a form of "bias"...

Most media reports in his presidency have literally just been reporting things he has said.

Which is really what is most hilarious when people make insane claims about "media bias".

Do people not realize that Trump drives nearly all media stories about him???

They never can provide legit factual examples. Cons are liars & absolutely useless.

Do you even pretend to remember what your post before this one was? You said "quarterly growth". This poster responding with those stats... You reply with a statement on average growth.

Come on....

I find it hilarious that Trump supporters do not realize that Trump brought it on himself. He believes that as long as he controls the news cycle he wins.

During those 100 days Trump spread lies and made crazy statements to be in the news everyday.

The OP is complaining because Trump got what he wanted and it turns out that it is hurting Trump in the long run.

The more lies that come out the more people see how bad he really is.

I have no interest in what Trump specifically is saying or not saying, I dont follow his Twitter feed and hang on every word. Just pointing out an article that a liberal college did that points to liberal bias as the conservatives see it.
