Broadcast evening news coverage of the 2024 presidential race is the most lopsided in history according to the Media Research Center’s analysis. Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris received 78% positive coverage, while former Republican President Donald Trump faced 85% negative coverage since July, according to the study.
The analysis shows that Trump’s coverage is more negative than in 2020, where he experienced 92% negative coverage versus Joe Biden’s 66% positive.
MRC also alleged that ABC, CBS and NBC have spent most of the more than 200 minutes of airtime covering Trump controversies while glossing over controversies related to Harris.
