New report unmasks grotesque media bias
While Trump had tons of successes, they were all pretty much ignored. But the lies were sure reported on non-stop. Attacks all year long. It's disgusting how the office of the presidency has been directly attacked, and politics have been forgotten by the left. Anonymous sources and lying sources, attacks and obstruction. And he has still been successful. I wonder how good our country CAN BE if folks all actually worked together?

Russia 'Collusion' Took Up One-Fifth of Media's 90 Percent Negative Trump Coverage in 2017
Major TV networks spent one out of three minutes covering President Donald Trump last year, with 90 percent of that coverage negative. A full one-fifth of that coverage focused on the Trump-Russia "collusion" scandal.
"'90% of Trump 2017 news coverage was negative' -- and much of it contrived!" Trump tweeted Monday morning.
The major television networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — spent 100 hours covering the Trump presidency in 2017, according to the Media Research Center (MRC). This represented 34 percent of the coverage. President Obama only received 10 percent of this coverage in 2015 and 2016.
A negative tone dominated 90 percent of the coverage, with only 10 percent of it positive (excluding neutral statements). Positive comments rose above ten percent during three months: January, when reporters discussed Trump supporters' positive reactions to the Inauguration; April, when some praised Trump's missile strikes against Syria; and in December, when Congress passed tax reform.
Even during those months, negative coverage still vastly outpaced the positive: 85 percent in January, 82 percent in April, and 85 percent in December.
