There are plenty more if you Google around. And they go back way before Trump was on the scene.
I'd be interested to see studies that dispute these findings. I haven't seen any.
- croon 9y agoI did google around. And they only hits I found were specifically Trump critical media. I'm hard pressed to call that bias. A fair reporting of Trump comes across in a very bad light. I guess that's unfortunate for him, but it's of his own making. The real question is whether anything reported on him (or the right at large) are erroneous, as he has claimed hundreds of times ("lies" and "fake" specifically), because the very few times it has happened, it was publicly retracted, and most often people got fired for it. I think that's a marker for healthy news.
