    If that is the case then they would have used the same methodology for the other outlets (I'd hope) and the comparison would still be valid.
    Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

      The real irony here is that back during the Clinton and Obama Administrations you actually had reporters occasionally gush about being willing to be their sex toys.

        This is why you are losing this debate and any debate you run from you don't want to look at the facts. And you call yourself an intellectual? Only a fool refuses to look at important facts such as methodology of a study before trying to invalidate or validate said study.

          Comparison is still valid unfortunately for the close minded fools like Starlight.

          From the OP
          On the broadcast side of the media spectrum, Fox News provided the most even-handed coverage, with 52 percent anti-Trump coverage.

          To arrive at the percentages, Harvard obtained data from Media Tenor, which “codes” media according to its topic, source, and tone. The broadcast portion of the study accounts for reporting on CNN’s The Situation Room, CBS Evening News, Fox’s Special Report, and NBC Nightly News, but does not represent talk show coverage. Newspaper analysis incorporates all sections but obituaries, sports, and letters to the editor.

            If the study included shows such as Good Morning America, The View and the like the negative numbers would likely be closer to 95% and over for the networks and CNN

              Excuse my for providing a link to a rather off-topic "press coverage" in which Alec Baldwin's Donald Trump sings Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'.

              I guess we can agree for once that this is fake news.

                      Only an arrogant anti-intellectual fool would expect a study of how NEWS is being reported would expect them to look what peoples biased opinions were of that NEWS. This study was on which news organizations and journalists were better at keeping their bias from coloring how they reported the NEWS. I was showing everyone here how uninformed and closed minded you were. and you just proved my point.

                      In an earlier post you made a hypothesis about the current republican party being insane. I'm now challenging you to show the proof. Give us the psychological study you did and your diagnosis of said illness. Disagreeing with what they are doing or saying is not proof. I want real proof. if you only have that you disagree with the way they see things you have nothing, and Teal and I are right you are an uniformed closed minded anti intellectual.

                          You keep using intellectual and open-minded to describe yourself Starlight. I don't think those words mean what you think they mean.

                            The phrase "so open-mind your brain fell out" comes to mind.

                              It does seem fairly clear that you don't know what words mean.

                                I think we should run through a simple exercise and measure RumTumTugger's abilities.
                                Let's compare the ability of our test subject to understand a simple phrase.
                                We'll use a representative of the Supreme Court as our baseline.

                                THE TEST
                                Let's look at the phrase: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

                                TEST SUBJECT #1
                                I sent RumTumTugger a telegram asking what that phrase meant and here is her response:
                                "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

                                TEST SUBJECT #2
                                I sent the Supreme Court a telegram asking what the phrase meant and Ruth Bader Ginsburg showed up on my doorstep.
                                She was all bug-eyed and frothing at the mouth - her black muumuu blowing in the winds of a storm that had just arisen.
                                She said the phrase means "Civil governments not at all connected to congress shall not place religious items on public properties in celebration even though that doesn't establish a religion and even though no laws are touched by it."
                                She then cackled, turned into a bat, crapped on my Bible and flew away.

                                VERDICT
                                RumTumTugger has a much better grasp on the English language than the Supreme Court, which I'm afraid, isn't saying much at all.
                                Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies.
