Negative for Trump'

'ABC News program World News Tonight has shown an overall positive spin
on its reporting of Vice President Kamala Harris, versus its overall
negative reporting on former President Donald Trump, according to a
recent report.

A report from the Media Research Center’s (MRC) NewsBusters found that
an analysis of “100 campaign stories” aired on World News Tonight,
hosted by David Muir, found “25 clearly positive statements” made about
Harris from “reporters, anchors, voters or other non-partisan sources,”
which represented a 100 percent positive spin on the outlets reporting
for Harris.

The 100 campaign stories that MRC reviewed stemmed from July 21, when
Harris entered the 2024 presidential race, to September 6.

An analysis of ABC’s reporting on Trump found “five clearly positive
statements” and “66 negative statements,” representing a 93 percent
negative spin on the outlets reporting for Trump.

The MRC’s NewsBusters report noted that “ABC’s reporters and anchors
either jumped in to criticize Trump themselves, or broadcast negative
comments from non-partisan sources to impart a heavily negative spin to
the former President’s coverage.”

In one example of the biased reporting from the outlet on their coverage
of Trump versus Harris, during an interview between Muir and Trump in
January 2017, Muir seemed to imply that Trump was not presidential for
speaking about his popular support, though Muir kept asking him about
it.

DAVID MUIR: Mr. President, I just have one more question on this. And
it’s — it’s bigger picture. You took some heat after your visit to the
CIA in front of that hallowed wall, 117 stars — of those lost at the
CIA. You talked about other things. But you also talked about crowd size
at the inauguration, about the size of your rallies, about covers on
Time magazine. And I just wanna ask you when does all of that matter
just a little less? When do you let it roll off your back now that
you’re the president?

During the interview, Trump continued to talk about his speech and how
other outlets such as Fox News described it as being “great,” while ABC
News and “other networks covered it very inaccurately.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP: And they tried to demean. Excuse me?

DAVID MUIR: Not me personally.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Not you personally but your network — and they tried to
demean the speech. And I know when things are good or bad. A poll just
came out on my inauguration speech which was extraordinary that people
loved it. Loved and liked. And it was an extraordinary poll.

DAVID MUIR: I guess that’s what I’m getting at. You talked about the
poll, the people loving your inaugural speech and the size of your…

PRESIDENT TRUMP: No, because you bring it up.

DAVID MUIR: I’m asking, well, on day one you….

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, you just brought it up. I didn’t bring it up. I
didn’t wanna — talk about the inauguration speech. But I think I did a
very good job and people really liked it. You saw the poll. Just came
out this morning. You bring it up. I didn’t bring it up.

DAVID MUIR: So, polls and crowd size and covers on Time, those still
matter now that you’re here as president.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, you keep bringing it up. I had a massive amount
of people here. They were showing pictures that were very unflattering,
as unflattering — from certain angles — that were taken early and lots
of other things. I’ll show you a picture later if you’d like of a
massive crowd.

In another instance, during an interview in August 2020 President Joe
Biden and Harris, who were the Democratic presidential and
vice-presidential nominees at the time, Muir asked Biden if he blamed
Trump for the deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic, and labeled the Trump
administration as negligent:

MUIR: We have so much we want to get to here, but I do want to get right
to the heaviness of the moment in our country. The pandemic — more than
170,000 American lives lost now — Mr. Vice President, you have said that
people are dying because of this negligence. Do you blame President
Trump for lives lost?

BIDEN: I don’t blame him for the COVID crisis. I blame him for walking
away and not dealing with the solutions. The idea of sayingg that this
is going to go away, that some miracle is going to happen, there’s all
talk about the crazy things about bleach and using, I mean it’s just, he
hasn’t listened to the scientists.

MUIR: But do you think the negligence on the part of this administration
has cost lives?

In other instances, Muir has congratulated Harris on making “history,”
and cut off former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) for pointing out
that Democrats have previously denied election results.

“Look, David, this goes all the way back to 2000 with George W. Bush
when you had supporters of Al Gore who, even after Vice President Gore
conceded the election and certified it himself as the president of the
Senate, refused to accept George W. Bush as legitimate,” Christie said
on Tuesday. “You’ve had Hillary Clinton say that she still doesn’t
accept the 2016 election results as legitimate. This is a very dangerous
thing in this country, which was brought to a new level in 2020 when
Donald Trump —”

Muir immediately interjected, stressing that Gore “stood before the
nation and actually conceded and did something very different than what
we witnessed.”

This comes as Muir, along with Linsey Davis, an anchor on ABC News Live
Prime will moderate the presidential debate on Tuesday between Harris
and Trump.

The MRC’s report also noted that coverage from CBS Evening News and NBC
Nightly News showed “highly positive coverage” for the vice president,
while the former president received negative coverage.

However, the coverage of Harris on CBS was found to be 94 percent
positive, while Trump’s was 77 percent negative. NBC’s coverage of
Harris was found to have been 71 percent positive, and 86 percent
negative for Trump.'
