Fox is ‘hard’ right lol?
There is no hard right major outlet. Fox’s lead man, Chris Wallace, can’t stand Trump. Brit Hume is an old school garden variety conservative that passed on the Never Trump bandwagon. We/they have even lost judge Nappy. There is one[1] hard righty on Fox—Hannity.
Bret Baier is right-ish but he at least tries to be impartial in his roll.
Tucker Carlson makes his loving speaking out against the lefties nonsense that dominates the other cable news outlets. And he’s living handsomely doing it.
And that same study explains why Trump received the negative coverage:
"So why is Trump’s coverage so negative even though he does most of the talking? The fact is, he’s been on the defensive during most of his 100 days in office, trying to put the best face possible on executive orders, legislative initiatives, appointments, and other undertakings that have gone bad. Even Fox has not been able to save him"
compared to hard left CNN, yes. LOL
Cite the quote please. Which Democrats are so fucking stupid as to trod out the old "Bush lied" BS?
Fox is to the right what MSNBC is to the left, they are the same, both created to tell a select audience what they want to hear
And Fox's prime time demogogues aren't left or right, they go where the money is, which today means supporting Trump 100% regardless of what he says or does, Hannity even campaigns for him

I gave you Hannity.
He’s actually too much for me. Fox only *seems* right relative to the others
You still can't spell demagogue.
Is that a fact?
Exactly, "You don't get to call journalists liars simply for debunking Trump's nonsense," lying is part of Trump's schtick, he has been telling them his whole life, if you do it enough people will begin to just accept it, plus, it will get you coverage, and in his world, as long as you are the news regardless of why, the other guy ain't

However, the real warping of the news is not just a matter of slanting coverage, but deliberately not covering the news at all.
In the last two weeks, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has achieved the most stunning breakthroughs in Middle Eastern diplomacy in over half a century. [VDH from link]

Covering it isn’t ‘mentioning it’: It’s the amount of broadcast minutes dedicated to the story.

Sorry, just ain't as anal retentive as yourself
It's the "Big Lie" strategy. Proven effective against idiots, morons and the politically extreme.
Because people do not want to watch "boring" news. The media has to sensationalize everything to get viewers who want to have their own views reinforced by the commentators---usually negative stories about the other side.
The press began in this country as the "partisan press" sponsored by the political parties. People like Jefferson hired writers to place stories in newspapers.
I've corrected you on that point countless times. Your intellectual sloppiness is belied by your casual attitude toward spelling, IMO.
Two things happening there, one, it was covered, although I'd argue it wasn't as big a deal as some like to portray it, and secondly, it was over casted by Trump's antics and coverage, his quest to be the news everyday superseded news on his own accomplishments
It's effective with everyone. Experiments show if people receive repeated messages telling them X is not true eventually believe X is true although it is contrary to the message they have been receiving.
And, Juan Williams needs to be on MSNBC. He's oblivious to facts.
Well if you corrected it countless times you should know I don't give a damn how it is spelled, everyone including you know what I am saying, so the point it taken
And the "intellectual sloppiness" is comical coming from one who ninety nine percent of the time offers nothing but corny copy and pastes, the other one percent bans anyone who can challenge him
