I think you perfectly described a smear campaign.

 

Is there an untrue statement anywhere in my post?

Well usually when there is an outlier, the first reaction shouldn't be that all of the other ones are wrong. Honestly what shocks me the most is that FOX can't even get to 50%.

 

The article did leave a disclaimer for Fox's numbers.

I would call this speculation and a personal smear towards President Trump but the rest of your post generally looks about right:

 

"whose main platform is to erase the preceding POTUS' legacy."

He campaigned on that though, didn't he? He has said that Obama is the worst president ever and he will work hard to undue all of the wrongs of his two terms.

 

That may not be what he said verbatim but that is pretty much what he said multiple times at his rallies and then the crowd would go wild.

We talkin' about Pep Rallies on the Campaign Trail?

 

I think the news on NBC, CBS or ABC is fine, On MSNBC, CNN or Fox it is mostly opinion pieces. Of course it reflects a bias. The reason the coverage of President Trump sounds so negative is that they keep showing him on camera. That makes it look like they are being negative.

Don Henley sums it up.

 

"Dirty Laundry"

 

I make my living off the evening news

Just give me something

Something I can use

People love it when you lose

They love dirty laundry

 

Well, I coulda been an actor

But I wound up here

I just have to look good

I don't have to be clear

Come and whisper in my ear

Give us dirty laundry

 

Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em when they're down

 

Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em all around

 

We got the bubble headed

Bleached blonde

Comes on at five

She can tell you 'bout the plane crash

With a gleam in her eye

It's interesting when people die

Give us dirty laundry

 

Can we film the operation

Is the head dead yet

You know the boys in the newsroom

Got a running bet

Get the widow on the set

We need dirty laundry

 

[instrumental Interlude]

 

You don't really need to find out

What's going on

You don't really want to know

Just how far it's gone

Just leave well enough alone

Eat your dirty laundry

 

Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em when they're down

 

Kick 'em when they're up

Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're stiff

Kick 'em all around

 

(Kick 'em when they're up)

(Kick 'em when they're down)

(Kick 'em when they're up)

(Kick 'em when they're down)

 

(Kick 'em when they're up)

(Kick 'em when they're down)

(Kick 'em when they're stiff)

(Kick 'em all around)

 

Dirty little secrets

Dirty little lies

We got our dirty little fingers

In everybody's pie

We love to cut you down to size

We love dirty laundry

 

We can do the Innuendo

We can dance and sing

When it's said and done

We haven't told you a thing

We all know that Crap is King

Give us dirty laundry

:lol2: :lol2:

 

I miss AI too.

He absolutely brought this on himself.

I'm curious, did they do a similar study for the coverage of President Obama?

Seems MSM haven't forgiven him for making them look stupid by winning the election. Now they are going after him. That's pretty much what you admitted in your post.

 

I just wish they would practice journalism and stop doing hit pieces and advocating for their agenda.

 

I'm curious, did they do a similar study for the coverage of President Obama?

 

This is exactly the kind of thing that should be investigated but is almost never brought to light by the media. For instance, I remember untold stories about the failure of Bush's "No Child Left Behind" education policy. But I never heard a comparison of "No Child Left Behind" with whatever went before it and I was specifically listening for it. Were its results better or worse than his predecessor's education policy? There is always plenty of bad news regarding the educational system to be reported. But have there been areas of improvement or areas of decline? That would make for good journalism. Then the people could look at it and know whether there were some good things about it or if it was all hogwash. All I know is that our education system is always being criticized. What i don't know is whether one President's policies have been better than another's. Or whether presidential policy even has an impact on local education.

 

This is why it seems the media is advocating for a political agenda. Seldom do you get a story with enough substance to really consider the implications. The impression I have is that there is just enough information to manipulate your opinion or even worse, your emotions, towards a specific viewpoint. Another example of this was when Bush was in the last year of his presidency and the media carried daily statistics of the deaths and injures of US servicemen and -women in the war on terror. That reporting stopped after Obama was elected although the deaths and injuries of US servicemen and -women continued.

 

I think the thing about this study by Harvard is that the Ivy League institution is hardly a bastion of Tea Party faculty members and so the study is most likely not slanted with a conservative bias.
