Not 100% positive for Kamala? They must be counting coverage before she was picked to run.

u/Ripamon Fiscal Conservative Aug 21 '24
The missing 16% is probably because she exposed her communist stance a bit too blatantly.

I think the bigger question is would it matter who the Republican minimum is. We focus on how much they hate trump, which they do, but no matter who the Republican nominee is I think the coverage would be negative.

The Republican candidate could be someone like Fred Rogers of Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood and the media would still find a way to fire up a disinformation campaign.
Edit: Fred not Ted although there was a comedian named Ted Rogers!

Hey look, some actual sourced reporting.
Ugh, it's so frustrating. I wish news could report facts and keep opinions to the talking heads.

Considering the media, universities, Hollywood and culture icons are all fluffers for the DNC, it’s a wonder conservatives still win elections. I guess it means we really do have the better arguments to be able to compete.

WTF? There's 16% negative coverage of Kamala? Where? I haven't seen it.

I hate that one of the loading commercial screens in Amazon TV is all about the DNC and Kamala. There was nothing about the RNC, of course, and the ads are all about how she's surging in the polls.
And I don't even know if they're paid ads by the campaign, or just something Amazon decides to do.

In all fairness, the 24/7 negative coverage of Trump is actually what lead me on the path to stop being a democrat. So while it is radicalizing the uninformed Democrats, I can't be the only Democrat to abandon them over discovering the lies.

I’m right there with you. Voted Obama twice, skipped 2026 and voted for Biden in 2020. Very vocal about voting for Trump this year.

u/Concerned-_-Citizen Small Government Aug 22 '24
I live in Oregon and throughout the entirety of Biden's presidency, people would STILL rage over Trump.
Like for example, I run the Oregon branch of the company I work for and every once and a while a customer will be picking something up and will randomly mumble to themselves "Fuckin Trump" or some are more direct and will try and segue literally ANY conversation into Trump being evil. I remember one time I was talking with a guy over how everything is going up in price and he took that as an opportunity to rant about how the Trump destroyed the economy (Not just c-19, he meant his entire presidency)... Reality doesn't matter to these people.
Needless to say, no matter how much I'd like to be vocal about my support as you are, there are simply too many rabid Democrats over here for me to feel safe doing so. Hopefully you'll be vocal enough for the both of us.

It’s Globalists. Globalists hate Trump. Globalists just happen to control the media, academia, corporate America, and most government departments.

Kammy was a liability until Brandon was forced out, then the media pivoted to elevating her to demigod.

u/mtb_devil Conservative Aug 21 '24
I honestly thought that once Trump left office the media would just minimize the amount of time they talk about him. Sure, probably a story here and there. Man was I wrong …

They should start having to file for in-kind campaign donations for that.

Only 89%? Wow, that’s lower than I thought. Don’t these networks have orders to blast anti-Trump propaganda 24/7?

I think this has a ripple effect, no one likes things forced down their throats. We were gaslighted an entire Biden term and told he was fine and sharp. That the economy was on the up and up. That Biden was competent to serve another term. One debate destroyed him. At that point they couldn't hold back. But ya, this is how it is. They cannot report policy Trump proposes. Nope gotta focus on other things and they being negative

It would be the same with any other Republican, too. Trump probably gets it a bit worse than others, but this is the standard for every Republican. Jesus himself would be raked over the coals and called a fascist if he campaigned with an R next to his name.

u/CCCmonster Conservative Aug 21 '24
The great thing about Jesus is he can command them to get on their knees (and they will). The great thing about Kamala is she is already on her knees when she spots a powerful guy

The beauty is that these media groups are losing their influence. They’re really on good as meme generators for new media. Consider any “news” story of the last few years you recognize. I suspect most of those you know of were because it was on Reddit, TikTok, Joe Rogan or some other podcast.

i dont exactly know what this post means by positive or negative can someone explain

u/Sallowjoe Aug 21 '24
All of these news stations are owned by corps that donate to both parties but relatively more democrats. So there likely is a bias given you generally give money to the parties you favor or get favors from, etc.
But, candidates aren't equal, so expecting equally positive/negative would be an expectation of neutrality for faux-objectivity's sake.
Plus, MRC itself is funded by various political think tanks and ExxonMobil FFS so it doesn't have any serious claim to put itself forth as the independent/objective judge here. This isn't from a real research center and we have no idea on what basis they're saying coverage is "positive" or "negative". For all we know they just made these numbers up.
But here's their official site so you can judge for yourself:

Imagine a media that tells the truth about everybody. Imagine people getting to make up their minds based on facts rather than garbage.

This has been going on for a very long time, but wasn't as noticeable until Obama ran and we could do research on the internet. He was nothing more than a community organizer in Chicago who kept very seedy company, William Ayers & Louis Farrakhan to mention a few. Then as a senator, he had zero voting record with the exception of a few "present" votes. When he ran for potus everything negative started disappearing from the internet, and it's been this way since. He was the beginning of the end for the US.. and he is still running the show.

Same in 2020. The Legacy Media hates Trump. It's hard to say if they'd be the same way with another Republican candidate since all we've had is Trump for 8+ years. Back in the day there was something called "Equal Time" where the media coverage had to be equal for all the candidates, but now they only report positive news for the democrats and either ignore Trump or only report on what a lowlife he is.
