This is why the mob is dying…
According to a report from the Media Research Center, nightly news coverage on President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks from ABC, CBS, and NBC has been “almost uniformly negative.”
When it came to nominees like Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, and others — coverage was negative 96% of the time during 2-week sample, according to MRC.
“Across all three networks, the coverage of Gabbard, Patel, and the handful of other nominees mentioned was entirely negative. Only Pete Hegseth, who received the lion’s share of the airtime, enjoyed a scant four positive evaluative statements, all of which cited his mother describing him as ‘redeemed’ and ‘a changed man,’” MRC senior research analyst Bill D’Agostino wrote.
“To reiterate: the only positive commentary any Trump nominee received on the broadcast networks was from his own mother,” D’Agostino added. “In addition to a whopping 96 percent negative tilt across their flagship evening newscasts, these networks also appear to have paid the most attention to Cabinet nominees who appeared to have the highest chances of sinking.”
CBS spent the most time on Trump’s nominees overall, spending nearly 25 minutes on them with over 14 minutes focusing on Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth.
“While CBS had the most negative overall coverage of the Trump transition (96.7%), they actually were softer on Hegseth than their counterparts: 88 percent negative, making them the only network of the three not to cross the 90 percent negative barrier,” D’Agostino wrote.
MRC founder and president Brent Bozell blasted the coverage as “appalling.”
“This is as predictable as it is appalling. It is simply indefensible. But America is seeing through this agenda. And then the media wonder why their numbers are tanking,” Bozell told Fox News Digital.
“These radicals’ agenda to undermine and damage – no, destroy – a president-elect, verges on the anti-American,” Bozell added. “It’s 2016 all over again. Donald Trump won the presidency and immediately the radical media are out to sabotage him.”
