ZitatNewsBusters, a project of watchdog Media Research Center, analyzed ABC, CBS, and NBC evening newscasts from June 1 through July 31. Analysts found that the shows spent 512 minutes of airtime on Trump, nine times more than the 58 minutes they allotted to Biden.
But that extra airtime was almost entirely negative toward Trump.
Analysts at the center found 634 of 668 evaluative statements about the president were negative, compared to 4 of 12 for Biden.
“It shows a news media that is tired of being an umpire, they want to be a player,” Rich Noyes, research director at the center, told The Epoch Times.
“They’d rather be the opposition to Donald Trump than let Joe Biden do the job.”
ABC News, NBC News, and CBS News didn’t respond to requests for comment on the study.
