Study: News Coverage Of Trump More Negative Than For Other Presidents
Reports on the current president are also less policy-focused and more about Trump's personality, according to The Pew Research Center. But that is not necessarily a reflection of the outlet's bias.
Compared to other recent presidents, news reports about President Trump have been more focused on his personality than his policy, and are more likely to carry negative assessments of his actions, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center's Journalism Project.
Researchers studied news stories from the early months of Trump's presidency, determining whether each story evaluated Trump overall in a positive or negative light. If a story had at least twice as many positive as negative statements, Pew said it had an overall positive assessment of the president. The reverse was also true for stories with a negative assessment.
