Media Coverage of 2024 Election Shows Historic Bias

A new analysis reveals significant disparity in TV coverage favoring Kamala Harris over Donald Trump.

The Media Research Center's study shows Kamala Harris received 78% positive coverage, while Donald Trump faced 85% negative coverage since July.
This bias in coverage is more pronounced than in the 2016 and 2020 elections, where Trump also received predominantly negative media attention.
ABC, CBS, and NBC have dedicated over 230 minutes to negative stories about Trump, while controversies involving Harris were largely ignored.
Despite the negative coverage, polls indicate Trump is closing the gap with Harris as Election Day approaches.
The analysis highlights growing public distrust in mainstream media, as alternative media platforms gain influence.
