The Washington Examiner reports a new study by the Media Research Center finds that 88 percent of the broadcast news coverage of Trump and his team was “hostile” during his first 30 days in office.

The study found newscasts on ABC, NBC and CBS crowded their stories with people angry about many of his policies, while giving little airtime to Trump supporters.

They also said the networks’ “anchors and reporters often injected their own anti-Trump editorial tone into the coverage.”

The study found that Trump’s call for a temporary travel ban drew the most negative coverage.

A previous Media Research Center report found that 91 percent of the coverage of his campaign was negative, calling it “twelve weeks of Trump bashing.”
