NextImg:PBS expands Trump hate, turns 93% ‘negative’

The premier weekly news show on PBS increased its negative coverage of President Donald Trump and Republicans to over 90%, a clear demonstration that the taxpayer-funded network has no plans to offer balanced coverage despite the White House’s defund threats.

Over the past three months, Washington Week with the Atlantic has provided coverage and commentary on Trump that the conservative watchdog Media Research Center graded 93% negative.

That is an increase since its last preelection study of the show, which registered 90% negative.

Since then, Trump beat then-Vice President Kamala Harris to win back the presidency and made defunding PBS and NPR a top priority.

But instead of giving Trump any credit for the Israel-Iran ceasefire, cutting inflation, leveling trade tariffs, or ridding the government of wasteful spending, the show and its stable of MAGA bashers have gone on a hate rampage, the new study shared with Secrets said.

“Even with supposedly bipartisan foreign policy issues on the table like Iran, the coverage only became more slanted, at 93% negative,” said the report published by MRC’s NewsBusters and researched by public media watcher Clay Waters.

His key findings:

— The panelists spent 83 minutes opining on Republicans, focusing on Trump and his administration, in 93% negative fashion (77 minutes negative, six minutes positive).

— Show “intros” by moderator Jeffrey Goldberg often set a mocking anti-Trump tone, not the “civil discourse” promised.

— Of the 14 different media outlets that were represented on Washington Week during the study period, all but one hailed from the left end of the political spectrum, and that single one (the Dispatch) sounded as liberal as the rest.

— In covering Trump’s successful immigration agenda, 100% of the coverage was negative.
