Legacy Media Flips on a Dime: Hated Trump, Loves Biden

In the first year of Donald Trump’s presidency, the big three cable TV networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) unleashed a barrage of negative attacks on the president. According to the Media Research Center (MRC), the legacy media networks hammered Trump with 89 percent negative coverage. Yet in the first few months of Joe Biden’s presidency, the coverage flipped.

ABC, CBS, and NBC evening newscasts have showered Biden with 59 percent positive coverage, according to an MRC analysis published Monday. MRC analyzed the legacy networks’ 726 minutes of Biden coverage from January 20 through April 9, a paltry amount of the 1,900 minutes the networks spent slamming Trump and his team during the same time period in 2017.

In 2017, the network newscasts included a massive number of evaluative comments — 1,687, which were 89 percent negative and 11 percent positive — about the Trump administration. This year, the networks only had 264 evaluative statements, out of which 156 (59 percent) offered praise and support for the president.

  1. These 3 networks and the talk are all racists and Biden kissers so now they got what they want. And I say cops are so disrespected and have been since the election and all of last years riots I would just let the mobs & rioters all kill each other then problem solved one community at a time.

  2. DO YOU WONDER WHO MAIN STREAM MEDIA CHECKING STATS WITH. THEY ARE DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED SO BIDENS WOULD BE HIGHER THAN TRUMP. THEY SPENT ALL THEIR TIME BASHING TRUMP WITH THEIR MAIDE UP LIES AND ALL THE WHILE NOW THEY ARE PRAISING BIDEN FOR “NOTHING” HE HAS DONE.
