This is media bias. The Media Research Center through a Washington Examiner article found that 84% of the coverage for harris/walz is favorable/positive while 89% of the coverage for Trump/Vance is unfavorable/negative. That happened after she was installed without 1 primary democrat voter. One top issue that the liberal media distorts is the economy where over 60% of people are living paycheck to paycheck while customers are putting basic life needs (gas, energy and food) on credit cards. The other thing is people can't afford is to go to any sports events and entertainment.

Harris is always smiling/laughing/joyful...Trump is dour/scowling/hateful...always ridiculing...it's easy to report what one sees and hears.....

Teen Vogue? Just stop while you're behind. The media tilts both directions on a whim, serving the master that comes calling, whomever that may be.

You cannot be serious. Back when news media were dominated by newspapers (when I was young), those media were predominantly right wing. The reverse is true today. A good example of this is the Los Angeles Times.

But here's a question for you. How can a journalist or news organization be positive about a party led by Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, JD Vance, Matt Goetz, etc? The intellectuals have been driven out of the Republican Party. They're, "Rinos." When a party is led by a bunch of nutjobs, spoiled rich kids, and trailer park trash how can anyone ethically report positively about them? Fox News isn't ethical. The evidence shown in their libel/slander suit that they lost for ONE BILLION DOLLARS proved that the people in charge there don't care about presenting facts, they just care about catering to their audience and telling them what they want to hear. Ratings is all they care about. Playing to their base and keeping favor with the Republicans in office to give them guests/talking heads.

I am serious. Your view is overly simplistic, as it tends to be. Explain this: Biden's debate performance. The "liberal" media spent WEEKS absolutely blasting the Biden administration, calling for him to drop out, running with false stories about Biden having Parkinson's Disease, dredging up conspiracy theories, etc. CNN admitted to essentially coming up with material that was "election worthy" to reinvigorate interest in the process. Oh...and the "liberal" media that's spearheaded by CEO's that are literal Trump campaign donors. Spare me.

My contention that the vast majority of the prestige press is visibly slanted to the left does is not solely based on its coverage of Donald Trump. In the sense I refer to, Trump is low hanging fruit.
Talk radio and Fox News are about the only outlets that lean to the right. As for Fox, I almost exclusively watch only Bret Baier. His show is pretty straight forward and does not overlook Trump's weaknesses as do most of the other Fox shows. Of course, Baier's show is basically news. Most other shows on Fox are opinion.
Of course, opinion is okay.

Lol. Why was Fox sued for $787B then? Slippery...slopes.
