An Introduction to American political propaganda and the fall of our free press.
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/12/an-introduction-to-american-political.htmlNexstar is the largest corporate owner of television stations in the United States. That includes local network affiliates in larger markets, and independent stations, like WGN in Chicago, as well as stations in smaller markets, places like San Angelo, Texas. And that does indeed have an impact on the perspective with which The Hill, along with those other network affiliates, delivers the news.
And here's the perspective. Trump, Trump, Trump.
From just personal observation, it was pretty clear that the American media engaged in a four year campaign, during the Biden Administration, to report everything Trump was saying or doing in response. I haven't seen any specific studies that have analyzed the news reports from the past four years in each category of media, but I wouldn't argue with a conclusion that found Trump was mentioned on every media outlet that has news coverage on a daily basis, since leaving the White House, and that the amount of time he got in terms of coverage was at least twice the amount given to the Biden administration.
And yes, I'd be willing to bet on that conservative estimate.

(6,027 posts)But I think twice as much is a guess, when it comes to the differential in time. I'm sure there's some reseearch that's been done somewhere on it. One of the Magat FCC board members got upset because of the ten minutes Harris got on SNL. But didn't say a think about how much time like that Trump has had. If they want to impose free and equal time, they owe Democrats years of free publicity.
I'd be willing to bet that Trump was mentioned in the news and on some talk programs every single day, multiple times each day, during the entire time he was out of office.

(6,027 posts)I can see where it's political perspective might be a little bit confused. This piece reads like a low level journalism class assignment, "Take the opposite position from Joe Biden's success and see what you can do with it."
She gets an F because good journalism doesn't leave out facts. She left them all out.

to rehabilite his image. They also have
another right winger named Leland Vitter.
I don't have cable, but spots I see on WGN
look like Fox News Lite.
