“A stunning contrast” is how media experts have described
press treatment for Joe Biden and President Trump during the early days of
their respective administrations. According to a recent study by a conservative
watchdog company, Biden dominated around 18 percent of NBC, ABC and CBS’s air
time over his first 79 days and received 56 percent positive coverage.
This was in contrast to the exponentially larger amount of
time dedicated to painting President Trump in a negative light, as Media
Matters found he received 89 percent negative coverage with an overwhelming
amount focused on the so-called Russian collusion.
On January 27, CNN kicked off President Trump’s first term
with an article titled: “How Donald Trump Changed the Presidency in Seven
Days.” The article claimed the 45th President’s voters “sent him to Washington
to blow things up” and his “presidency was already built on creative
destruction.”
The watchdog group stressed, this unprecedented hostility
has highlighted the mainstream media’s shameless bias toward the Biden
administration, which is a sentiment echoed by Republican leaders.
In recent remarks, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R)
said it is “shameful” that the mainstream media is teaching viewers to loathe
Republicans and getting our nation “addicted to hate.”
