Harvard Study finds coverage of Trump grossly biased.

Grossly.

 

http://www.nationalr...ard-study-finds

 

Media manufacturing hysterics where none exist. For example, they harped for a week straight about Trump 'leaking highly classified information' to the Russians.

What was that information he 'leaked' to the Russians? That ISIS was using laptops to get explosives aboard planes... the same info that had been published two weeks earlier by the same media entities that were sobbing about Trump telling Lavrov.

The Pope has met Donald Trump... Think this AP picture just about sums it up

 

Melania truly hates him.

She didn't sign up for this bullshuit. Her only commitment was to bear him a late-in-life autistic child and serve as most favored concubine for the remainder of his days while living that trophy wife life. This whole ultra high-profile public figure shit, you can see the disgust she has for him.

 

I wonder what the book is on them getting divorced while he's in office. He's known to be an absolute savage with the prenups (ask Marla Maples) so she isn't getting shit out of that beyond alimony and money to raise Baron, but could you imagine how much money she could make if she turned coat on him and went to the other side?

 

Her tell-all would sell 10,000,000 copies.

Breaking news, 90% of news coverage of Ebola is negative. Trump's coverage not being 50/50 does not mean it is biased. In fact any coverage of him that is close to balanced would be biased.

 

The intelligence community and Isreali Intelligence were freaking out about Trump outing details of that intelligence that pointed to the source of the intelligence not the fact of the threat.

 

That guy on Facebook is amazingly projecting the GOP tactics and in fact is lying himself about what Trump leaked. The people in the room immediately warned the Intelligence chain of command about Trump's telling the Russians information that put the source in danger.

 

The story isn't that he discussed the fact that there is a threat from laptop bombs but that he shared information with the Russians that was explicitly not supposed to be shared with any other country including the US's closest allies but instead he leaked it to the Russians who are the Allies of Iran who are the enemies of the country that the US got the intelligence from.

see. Fox news and their Trump cheerleaders at 50 % are the biased ones.

 

“CNN and NBC’s coverage was the most unrelenting — negative stories about Trump outpaced positive ones by 13-to-1 on the two networks,” Patterson concluded. Fox News was an outlier, as it covered Trump positively 48 percent of the time.

this is actually pretty funny. He's either full of shit or a complete dumb **** to not know that that his free market purity will result in people losing coverage and dying.

WOW. Mark Meadows, head of the Freedom Caucus, tears up upon realizing AHCA doesn't protect pre-existing conditions.

Did Trump just shove another NATO leader to be in the front of the group?

Yea Scram, it's not biased to focus 98% of your news coverage being negative about a person with a higher approval rating than Obama at the same point in time. It would be bias if you didn't focus 98% of your news on the make believe lies that is later proven false over and over because Trump shouldn't be president because....Hitler

[Dubey 1,035]

 

 

a person with a higher approval rating than Obama at the same point in time.

 

 

lol?

 

in May 2009 Obama had an approval rating in the mid 60s. Obama didn't have an approval rating as low as Trump's current 39% in his entire 8 year term.

 

 

[Balloon guy 158]

Why doesn't the rest of the world realize that the leakers are trying to save us all from literally Hitler?

Sure they are putting people's lives at risk, but just like immigration, we must be willing to sacrificing our own children in order to achieve the title of inclusive and loving people of the world.

 

 

 

[Dubey 1,035]

The "literally hitler" thing you keep doing is so childish.

 

Latch on to one extreme statement made by a small minority of your opposition. Apply that to all future arguments made by anyone on the other side in an attempt to undermine their position.

 

This is Grade School rhetoric BG. Trump would be proud.

 

 

 

in any case. not sure why I would listen to anything you have to say because something something grab 'em by the pussy.

[brvheart 1,752]

I think the majority of democrats on the internet really believe that Trump is as bad as Hitler.

[scuudagouch 15]

Brv, I think you are right. It just shows how stupid the majority of Democrats are.

[Balloon guy 158]

He just needs to deflect from the point of the post that the leakers the left love are criminals committing felonies and the adults are getting tired of it.

 

 

 

[GOCUBSGO 77]

Lol.

 

BG just spewing blatantly false approval rating comparisons while shouting fake news at the left.

 

Go ahead and keep parroting the same old tired Hitler reference and fake news rhetoric. I'm content watching Trump speed up the timeline for GOP irrelevance.

 

 

[Scrim 115]

Yeah, I think you just went fully into bizarro-world with that one.

Irrelevance... I don't think you know how to properly apply that in real world settings.

 

I'll help.

 

 

Leftist Democrats are becoming so much in the minority that am overwhelming blitzkrieg of media help was unable to elect the first woman leader who had a massive war chest, a talented team, ground game, rigged primary, and was feed questions in advance for town hall debates.

 

She lost to a loud mouth pompous reality show star who everyone knows is really dumb and probably not even rich.

 

 

That's how irrelevant your side had become.

 

 

My side is in charge, enjoying the screams, and using the tears to wash our over cooked steaks.

 

 

Enjoy playtime.

[Balloon guy 158]

 

 

Yeah, I think you just went fully into bizarro-world with that one.

 

Do you think, in years to come, after things don't really change and politicians once again corrupt everything while telling us things are great, the left will look back on these days and realize they were literally insane for a while?

 

Or will they hold their heads up high as rebels as they follow the line into the cattle cars to the Fema camps?

[FCP Bob 1,312]

Yeah, I think you just went fully into bizarro-world with that one.

 

When somebody is doing a terrible job and screwing up left right and center do you think the coverage should be 50% positive and 50% negative ? If you are reporting the truth it should be fair but the balance will come from how the subject is actually performing.

 

Hey look at all the weight that people in Venezuela have lost over the last year because the country has a massive food shortage, think about how good they'll look in their bathing suits this Summer.

[Balloon guy 158]

Guess not

[Balloon guy 158]

Did you love Trump embarrassing the NATO members for being dead beats?

 

Like a boss he threw down mm

 

I'll be surprised if at least half of them don't need intense counseling in a safe space as soon as they run home.

 

He patted Macron like a good little boy.

 

Hopefully he shuts down the efforts of some of them who are trying to say that retirement benefits to their former military leaders are to be counted towards their obligations to NATO.

Confirmation bias dictates that nothing he ever does will be considered good, everything he does will be said 'bad', media narrates it thusly.

This is why history judges presidents. Not journalists.

 

For example, you've said that you have respect for Nixon.

Now, I know why that is (it's China), but that's a pretty good example of how one person's individual biases can color their opinion of a President, especially given that Nixon said such thing about the jews and the blacks!

 

https://www.theatlan...-blacks/311870/

 

In the partisan echo chamber, positive reporting about 'your guy' is 'factual' while negative is 'fake news'. Since you're against Trump, you naturally view cartoonish media bias as 'just reporting the facts;' but even Harvard disagrees.

Harvard doesn't agree with you it's not what the study says. They didn't judge the accuracy of the reporting only whether it was positive or negative about Trump.

 

I judge Nixon on a lot of the really good domestic policies that he was responsible as well as the usual negative things like Watergate and his racism and anti-semitism, it's actually being unbiased. Nixon created the EPA for example.
