March 3, 20179 yr Is this surprising? The media sets the tone regardless of whats true or untrue. This is why these weasels and I use that term loosely, cannot be trusted. Like big Pharma, they have to sell their product in a day when 24/7 news is big business and the competition always strives to have "breaking news".

Press coverage of Trump in first month of office: 88 percent 'hostile,' says new study - Washington Times From the article: There was no press honeymoon for President Trump during his first month in office. A meticulous new study by the Media Research Center finds that 88 percent of the broadcast news coverage of Mr. Trump and his team was “hostile” during the first 30 days of office. The coverage was intense and plentiful.

That is over half — 54 percent — of their total coverage for the month.
