Joe Concha says media bias against Trump is ‘painfully obvious’
Washington Examiner senior writer Joe Concha lamented the negative coverage of President Donald Trump while “Democrats are almost never cast in a negative light.”
Concha appeared on Fox News’s Life, Liberty, and Levin on Sunday to lament that Mediaite, a news site he wrote for about 10 years ago, has swung so far to the left since he worked there.
“It’s painfully obvious when you go to MEDIAite, for example, I wrote for them — in full disclosure — about a decade ago, but it was a different site then. I just looked this past Thursday, just randomly [at] 1 in the afternoon: I saw 11 stories on Trump on its homepage. Ten were profoundly negative, one was relatively neutral, zero were positive,” Concha said.
“Meanwhile, Democrats are almost never cast in a negative light, and it’s no different at the New York Times … and it’s not better at the Washington Post either,” he added.
Mediaite skews left, according to Ad Fonte Media, a public benefit corporation that ranks news outlets. According to its scale, which ranges from -42 to represent the most leftist bias and 42 to represent the most right bias, the outlet is -8.85.
The Media Research Center found that the news coverage of Trump’s first 100 days was 92% negative on ABC, CBS, and NBC networks.
THE MEDIA EFFORT TO BIDENIZE TRUMP
The Trump administration has long battled with the media. Trump notably did not attend the most recent White House Correspondents’ dinner, similar to years past. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to bar the Associated Press from her press conferences when the outlet refused to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, following Trump’s executive order renaming it.
Meanwhile, the White House may consider hiring more stenographers to transcribe Trump, as he has proven to be talkative during his time in office.
