The answer is an unequivocal ‘Yes,’ and according to the stats of a recent Pew Poll, from the very start of his Presidency

ed note–We’ll spare the reader the usual extended commentary dealing with the nonsense surrounding the ‘Trump is the favored son of Judea’ protocol in favor of the following ‘no brainer’–

We all know who owns the media, and it ain’t the AY-rabs or the Cat-licks. We also know that the media is the most potent weapon that this particular group has in its multi-tiered arsenal, and that when they have decided that someone is to die a death of a thousand cuts, it is done through control of the media.

Therefore, anyone being subjected to this thousand-cuts death is obviously not viewed in friendly terms by this unnamed ‘group’ who owns the media and therefore any theories floating around out there that such-and-such or so-and-so is beloved by this same group that is in full-bore/pedal-to-the-metal seek and destroy mode against said ‘beloved’ is so patently absurd on its face that in any intelligent (note that word) discussion of modern politics such a ridiculous thesis should not be granted even 3 seconds’ time in any debate.

Sadly however, it is…

The mainstream media don’t like Trump, but it’s not really anything he did as president, a new survey by the Pew Research Center shows. The evidence: Among recent presidents, coverage of Trump’s initial weeks in office has been the most skewed and biased, by far.

Pew, with impeccable centrist credentials, decided to look at how the print, broadcast, cable and online media covered the first 60 days of each recent presidency — including Bill Clinton’s, George W. Bush’s, Barack Obama’s, and Donald Trump’s. As far as the media are concerned, Trump never had a chance.

Some 62% of the media coverage of Trump was negative, Pew found. For Obama it, was just 20%; for Bush, 28%; for Clinton, also 28%. In other words, the media from the get-go had decided Trump was a bad president — before any of his policies had a chance to take hold.

Put another way, only 5% of the coverage Trump got in his first two months was positive, compared with 42% for Obama, 22% for Bush and 27% for Clinton. On no issue did Trump get anywhere near what could be called a high positive coverage. Highest was for political skills, with 15% of stories giving him positive coverage. But on immigration, just 9% of the stories were positive; for his appointments and nominations, just 11%; U.S.-Russia ties, 4%; health care, 9%.

“And it’s not a case of overwhelmingly negative coverage on one subject drowning out some moderately positive coverage on other matters,” noted the political blog Hot Air. “It was resoundingly negative across the board.”

Or, as Pew put it, “Compared with past administrations, coverage of Trump’s early days focused less on policy and was more negative overall.”

Is it any wonder that Trump has what many see as open contempt for the media when, despite their protestations to the contrary, they are utterly and completely biased against him? And don’t expect the media to mellow or become better.

One of the more insightful recent comments about the press came from a lifelong member of the mainstream, mostly liberal media: Bob Schieffer, form CBS News anchor. He noted last weekend on “Face the Nation” that the media seem to have become increasingly geographically centered and insular, with one out of five reporters residing in New York, Washington or Los Angeles, up sharply from one in eight as recently as 2004.

This is a problem, as much for the media as it is for Trump. The big media have become willing vocal mouthpieces and shills for progressive ideas, the Democratic Party and even far-left and extremist political movements, while viewing mainstream Americans living in “flyover country” as backward yokels and rural grotesques clinging to archaic religious beliefs.

But those are the people who voted for Trump, and it’s a big reason why the once-pervasive reach of the capital and coastal media enclaves has shrunk so noticeably; many outside of the coastal blue states have simply turned them off.

Sadly, there’s no solution for this. In the digital age, we can all self-segregate on the web by tuning out discordant voices. Increasingly, that’s happening across the country, leading to a kind of ideological Balkanization. There’s more shouting, and less conversation. And we’re all poorer for it.

For all this, the media deserve much of the blame. They have abandoned all pretense of fairness or objectivity in their reporting, in favor of rank politicization of the news and even basic facts. The Pew report on their biased coverage of Trump’s initial months in office, unfortunately, confirms this.

  1. Regarding the media, to me it’s quite simple. The “Media” (JMSM) absolutely participated in 911 and the murder of innocent Americans. Then they went on to blame innocent Muslims for the crime, while all along the JMSM/Jews did the deed. The JMSM knows that Trump knows, and Trump has not been put under their yoke as of yet. Therefore, the JMSM knows that they are liable to be arrested, convicted of high treason and murder of American citizens, and executed. That’s why the Jewish Main Stream Media hates hates hates Trump so much. In short, Trump is making the JMSM shit themselves. (sorry for the foul language TUT’ers and MG)
