    That's impossible. It's a huge witch hunt based on fake news.

    This is very telling when you compare the average from Trump to the last 3 Presidents.

    Trump: 80% negative

    Obama: 41% negative

    Bush: 57% negative

    Clinton: 60% negative

    There's no way to deny the media bias against Trump when our major news outlets are reporting on him negatively over 90% of the time. They're even reporting negatively on the economy (54% negative) when the stock market is soaring, companies are making commitments to opening new factories and bringing more jobs to the US and our 'official' unemployment rate is at a ten year low. Their reporting on immigration is 96% negative, when the majority of Americans generally support Trump's immigration policies.

    The economy is doing extremely well, and they're still reporting negatively on it. If there's every been any doubt that our media is simply the propaganda arm of the Democrat party, this should seal that away.

    This might be interesting had you included a source and a link. But even giving you the benefit of doubt its a valid source... how in the world can Trump and his supporters feel good about WSJ (70%!) and Fox (52%!!) reporting more negatively on him than positive. If these sources are negative... Trump has even bigger problems than people think.

    Trump is hated by the deep state who are collaborating with MSM to take him down. FOX and WSJ are all establishment's mouthpiece. They were never part of the grassroots that got Trump elected.


    btw this was study done by Harvard

    Lol... even the conservative European Financial Times and the conservative Wall Street Journal, both slanted more toward business and economics, don't think highly of Trump...

    It's like when your policies aren't very good and you run a very divisive campaign your response is negativity.

    Did Clinton have a deep state issue? Bush Jr after Clinton? Obama after Bush Jr?

    Both Bush Jr and Obama both had 8 year terms.... sounds like the Deep State is just an excuse for poor policy and poorly managing one's administration.

    I mean I feel you want positive coverage of Trump's screw ups then you should check out RT or the Moscow tribune.

    I'm sure Trump's approval rating in Russia is fantastic. I hope you are enjoying your winning.

    The deep state is made up bullshit. Did the deep state go after W or Obama?

    Substitute "deep state" for "rule of laws" and everything make quite a bit of sense.

    Want to see Clinton?

    Of course, if you just look at a chart without context... let just said, negative coverage attract attention.

    Many folks are victim of this:


    Republican is probably now waking up to this:

    And, is it a liberal media. Of course not, but conservative believe it is for good reason:

    Thus... for example... nearly 50% of the US public believe there is a deep state. Just google and you see the polling on it.

    This doesn't mean news reporting are lies, fake news, but their negative reporting is an issue, a big one and is one that is advantages toward those political group that tap into those that distrust government, others groups, and is more prone to be driven by fear.
