Legacy media will continue to spur anti-Trump propaganda until his dying breath. Even then, they likely would not permit him to rest in peace. We recently saw the media broadcast Donald Trump wearing a navy blue suit at Pope Francis’ funeral, claiming he is disrespecting an entire Christian denomination with his wardrobe selection. The Media Research Center (MRC) recently conducted a poll to see how the media has painted the president during his first 100 days, and to the surprise of no one, coverage was 92.2% negative.
MRC looked at national news programs from CBS, NBC, and ABC from January 20 through April 9. An astounding 899 stories discussing the Trump Administration were negative, compared to 7.8% of positive coverage. “Just 100 days into President Donald Trump’s second term, the broadcast evening news landscape is even more lopsided than it was eight years ago, when Trump was besieged with relentlessly hostile coverage,” researcher Rich Noyes wrote. During his first term, the media’s negativity was at 89%. In contrast, Joe Biden received 59% positive coverage from these media networks during his first 100 days.
“Yet despite the overwhelming negativity of their coverage, the networks found Trump irresistible as a news subject, at least compared with Biden. From January 20 through April 9, 2017, the networks saturated their newscasts with 1,900 minutes of Trump news; during the same time period this year, we tallied a massive 1,716 minutes of coverage. But in 2021, evening news viewers saw only 726 minutes of Biden coverage during these same weeks, less than half of the airtime devoted to either of the new Trump administrations,” Noyes wrote.
Tariffs received the most airtime with 361 minutes. As I have stated, the press is attempting to erode confidence in the American economy. DOGE received 301 minutes or airtime, with immigration policies coming in at third with 233 minutes. The news covered tariffs negatively 93% of the time, covering immigration policies with an equal amount of animosity. DOGE government cutbacks were aired an astounding 97% with a negative spin. “Out of nearly four hours of evening news airtime devoted to immigration, these newscasts spent just 3.5 minutes letting viewers know just how much Trump has reduced border crossings,” Noyes commented.
The entire Trump Administration is seen as a threat by the left, who control the mainstream media, hence why they have also painted his cabinet in a bad light. All three major networks portrayed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in a negative way 100% of the time. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., despite his efforts that should be seen as neutral, received 89% negative coverage. Unsurprisingly, Elon Musk’s airtime was 96% negative.
“The mainstream media continues to portray President Trump’s historic accomplishments negatively, even though 77 million Americans voted for his policies. Americans know the President is doing what is best for the country, which is why the legacy media’s ratings continue to drop and people are finding new ways to consume the news,” a White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
The media fails to realize that the people voted for Trump because he is the anti-establishment candidate. His supporters know that the media conglomerates hate him AND his supporters, which only made him an increasingly popular underdog. Trump wears it as a badge of honor, even displaying his mugshot outside the Oval Office. Journalism died long ago. These are the same people who helped to orchestrate the COVID narrative, who hid Biden’s mental health, and who insist that they should have the final say on what constitutes misinformation. The primary, if not only, purpose of legacy media is to disseminate propaganda and manipulate the masses.
