It's been pretty much ONLY negative news broadcast about Trump. They ignore anything that is positive. And most folks will shrug when they hear "fake news"...

Minority Report: Nets Hide Record Low Unemployment for Blacks, Hispanics
Job growth has been on a tear under President Donald Trump and the booming labor market helped narrow the unemployment gap for prominent minority groups. The networks just didn’t bother reporting it 95 percent of the time.
Since the November 2017 jobs report, the unemployment rate for African-Americans or Hispanics dropped to all-time record lows seven times. The Asian-American unemployment rate also dropped to a record low once.
Despite eight separate records, there was just one story mentioning a demographic record low during ABC, CBS or NBC evening news jobs reports. That means 95 percent of broadcasts on the day records were announced actually ignored the records. (20 of 21 evening broadcasts the day Bureau of Labor Statistics data confirmed a record low.)
Records were set in seven different months, with two records occuring in the same month. Even four record-setting months in a row — April, May, June and July 2018 — couldn’t get much network attention.
Just one story on the three broadcast networks acknowledged any of the record lows. That CBS Evening News story on June 1, 2018, indicated that the unemployment rate for African-Americans dropped to an “all-time” low of 5.9 percent.” It still failed to note that Asian-American unemployment also declined to a record low of 2.1 percent that month.
No network reported the four record lows for Hispanic unemployment (4.7%, 4.6%, 4.5%, 4.4%) since November 2017, two additional African-American unemployment rate record lows (6.8%, 6.6%), and the Asian-American unemployment low.
Meanwhile other outlets were reporting the good news, especially when Trump or his administration praised the numbers. CNN Money admitted on Dec. 8, 2017, that Ivanka Trump was “right” about a new all-time low of 4.7 percent Hispanic unemployment.
