'It’s obvious that the networks are pouring their energy into confronting and criticizing the president

Evening newscasts on ABC, NBC and CBS are significantly more negative when referring to President Trump than Democratic nominee Joe Biden, according to a new study.

The Media Research Center analyzed every episode of “NBC Nightly News,” ABC’s “World News Tonight” and CBS’ “Evening News” from July 29 through October 20 and looked at how Trump and Biden were covered.

“It’s obvious that the networks are pouring their energy into confronting and criticizing the President, not equally covering both campaigns,” MRC research director Rich Noyes wrote.

The study found that Trump received 839 minutes of coverage with a whopping 92.4 percent of them being negative, while only 269 total minutes of airtime were devoted to Biden and only 34 percent were considered negative.

Duh. Mainstream media is campaigning for Joe Biden.

It is a time in all the Americas that leftists take control of the country.

Well he is an easy target. How are we "rounding the corner" on Corona when cases and deaths are still increasing?

There is nothing new in any of this. Part of the issue is Trump is also the sitting president and a very unpopular one at that. Part is that Biden practiced isolation early in the pandemic and just wasn't around, and part of this is Trump wife can't get him to stop using twitter and offering them so much good material. Comedians on the other hand have found Trump great for material and will miss him if Biden wins.

Still, in the end the lost stimulus cannot be put on Trump, even if initially he tried to kill it, in the end he supported it and tried to get the senate to do something. It the Senate and the senate alone that bears responsibility to the loss of that stimulus.

That is an easy question to answer. It was always the endgame in this to come up with a vaccine. When that happens and it is getting close, the corner will be behind us. Let me ask you another question, would you rather have a President that offers the country hope in trying times or one that hides in his basement.

Hope or lies? Hide in his basement? Just because he is not out there hosting super spreader events?

Trump has been and continues to be toxic to our democracy, health and morale.

A lot has happened in the last two weeks. I stand by my former statements. The end game in this pandemic is a vaccine. So when that arrives, who will get credit for promoting the development. The guy in the oval office at that time or the previous occupant who started the effort and set the path for how to get there sooner. Think about it this way. If we were on a normal vaccine development path, we would be facing 2-3 more years of COVID. How many deaths would have happened in those 2-3 years? I think history has a much better perspective on events than journalists have. We will see how history records Trump's efforts on the virus.
