Most of the media isn't against Trump because he's republican. They're simply reporting and investigating. Since Trump and his administration are incompetent it can seem like they're all out to get him, I suppose. You could argue certain far left places/people (kos, certain msnbc hosts) are against him by default.
The problem isn't that FOX and breitbart exist. It would be nice if they didn't function as propaganda outlets, but what might be nicer is if conservatives actually got their news from different places. The older people in my area are great examples as I posted before. I'm in their homes frequently and it's extremely common for them to just play FOX news all day. They turn it on when they get up it and it just sits there. They don't ever look at CNN/MSNBC/network news. They (older folks anyways) don't browse different websites to get balanced commentary or news.
Yesterday's FOX programming was a good example of how that can be damaging. Millions of conservative have no clue what's really going on because they trust FOX.
Trump is a dumpster fire of a president. Of course you're going to see a ton of negative stories from both the middle and left leaning news outlets.negative stories about Trump

Then you payed no attention to him for the past several decades. He is Trump, is was and always shall be.

The guy even Simpson’s made fun of for his incompetence... a guy who has been the butt of SNL jokes because of his Gordon Gekko persona in the 80s being portrayed by Phill Heartman... is now beyond reproach. The least credible candidate we ever had, who has been a joke for 30 years... is now unfairly being targeted, even though the only thing that changed, is Trump is now in actual news... instead of gossip pages, where TV celebraties belong.

They cried at his final press conference, end of story game over. The media loved Obama and covered for him consistently. Originally Posted by Felya

It's not about changing votes. It's about actively working with adversary nations to undermine our elections. What if Germany and England started hacking RNC servers, then used them in well timed releases during the 2020 elections for Dems. Would that be OK? Originally Posted by Jeezy911

Even if you take away policy positions, Obama was a decent person. He was intelligent and had a steady hand.
Trump has no redeeming qualities as a human being on top of being incompetent.
So yeah, the news coverage will look different. If Kasich were president instead of Trump the news wouldn't be anything like this. It's not about right or left. Trump is a terrible president.

What do you think CNN should run, the day after Trump’s campaign manger and a staffer were indicted? We had a reveal that part of Trump’s foreign advisory team, has pleaded guilty, while revealing he did try to connect Trump with Russia. You want them to cover the Uranium deal from 2010 or Fusion GPS, which caused Bannon to threaten a conservative publication for starting the payment for the dossier? Originally Posted by Jeezy911

Why did they love him? Was he an abrasive asshole, who spent hours on twitter attacking anyone who dares say anything negative? At which point is Trump responsible for being an abrasive ass hole, you voted him to be? Originally Posted by Jeezy911

Please, enlighten us: Name some of the positive things about his administration they should be covering instead? Originally Posted by Jeezy911

Negative coverage of something drives views/clicks/whatever much more than positive. Trump's unique problem, however, is his shocking lack of anything positive. Maybe if he wasn't such a shit president, it would be harder to give him nothing but shit coverage, eh?

Well he's right, there will be a negative Trump story running. But he fails to connect that with Trump doing negative things. Perhaps he thinks news programs should report on what Trump isn't doing?

Trump was directly asked whether he was going to pardon Manafort.
Trump responded by saying he wanted to sign a tax cut for the rich by Christmas.
Hmm.

Hannity is no where near news. Nothing on Fox "News" is fucking news. They are propaganda pure and simple. Hannity has his head shoved so far up Trump's ass that he checks his teeth for him. Why do you think they are doing EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER to not report on the indictments and guilty plea? Why do you think that people that watch no news know more about current events than people that watch Fox "News"? Originally Posted by Jeezy911

Yeah, i know that. But he was trying to say that there's a concerted effort to paint Trump in a negative light, by often putting "fake news" stories. And not by simply reporting all of the small and big fuckups of the trump adm Originally Posted by Kujako

The people who think not answering makes him look guilty are the people who already think he's guilty. The people who think not answering makes him look innocent are the people who already think he's innocent. He gains nothing by answering either way. Originally Posted by Breccia

Not true. He could try to convince people he's innocent, by saying he will not pardon Manafort. He's already distancing himself ("oh that was bigly years ago!") and his base will applaud it. Originally Posted by Nadiru
Or, he could go with "I won't need to pardon them, they aren't guilty." That's an answer that could bite him later, but it's not the shady refuse-to-answer shit.
Trying to shut down the idea of firing Mueller or pardoning those members of his campaign arrested and convicted would actually be a push to convince people he's taking this seriously. He's not doing that.
