An editorial agenda is normally very easy to hide. If you're a paper and you support an administration, you're going to do so by suppressing news that harms your side, and if you dislike an administration, you suppress news that is favorable to them. You can also see this in non-partisan coverage, such as the total blackout on the Epstein story and ABC previously spiking Robach's investigation into it. Suppressing news is an extremely favorable strategy because it's impossible to criticize something that isn't written as being biased. They can even bury a perfunctory story to deflect criticism of non-coverage. So, yeah, you wouldn't notice it because a lot of negative news was suppressed during the Obama admin. For instance, immigration is a huge topic now, but our issues at the border didn't suddenly spring into existence when Trump took office, those stories were spiked. One amazing case was this[1]: > GENEVA (Reuters) - A Nov. 18 story headlined “U.S. has world’s highest rate of children in detention -U.N. study” is withdrawn. The United Nations issued a statement on Nov. 19 saying the number was not current but was for the year 2015. No replacement story will be issued. The story was, objectively, just as newsworthy, it's simply that Reuters initially wanted to run it because they thought it would reflect badly on the Trump admin. But hit pieces clearly out you as a partisan outlet. There's no way to spin consistent negative converage against a single party. That's why it's so shocking that outlets like CNN have gone absolutely ballistic in the sheer volume of hit pieces against this administration. The negative coverage is in the high 90s and appears obsessive and bizarre. I don't think Bush even got this level of negative coverage even while he was conducting a deeply unpopular war.
