There's an understanding in the news business that any story — pro or con — about President Trump grabs eyeballs, but CNN has taken it to a new level.

A new Media Research Center survey of a full day of CNN coverage found that 92 percent of the news time was spent on Trump stories.
And the angle: CNN featured 96 critics and just seven supporters.

MRC analysts reviewed a day of coverage on Friday, starting with the 4 a.m. Early Start and continuing through the 11 p.m. CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, a total of 20 hours of material.

"After excluding commercials, teases and promos, our analysts found 13 hours, 27 minutes of actual news coverage, an average of just over 40 minutes per hour. Of that, a whopping 92 percent (12 hours, 19 minutes) was devoted to the Trump presidency, with a mere 68 minutes — a little more than three minutes per hour — devoted to all of the other news of the day," said the report.

As for the angle of coverage, MRC found: "The vast majority of all of CNN's guests that day (96, or 78% of the total) were Trump critics, compared to a handful of pro-Trump guests (just seven, or 6% of the total). Another 13 guests were neutral, and seven offered mixed assessments of the administration."

Fair and balanced!

Does CNN even claim to be fair and balanced? Isn't that Fox News's schtick? Why are you so triggered about this?

1. what was the news cycle of that day?
2. CNN covering the president is probably an improvement on an alternative where they spend their time discussing stray airplanes.

See, responses like this are what I annoy me.

I don't need a safe space because I'm offended or hurt by what people are saying. I'm just tired of people saying it, about everything. Trump in particular because it seems the only damn thing you can watch nowadays that isn't going to take a jab at him is children's shows.

Even Youtubers that I've watched for a while that usually stay out of politics are throwing random little barbs and insults at Trump or Hilary and it's just....I want a f***ing break. I want to be able to laugh and enjoy myself without hearing about these two, or their lackeys.

Last year was CNNs best year in terms of viewers. Probably because of Trump but still, nowhere near dying.

The coverage is fair: a little over 35% of America supports Trump. About a quarter of that 35% is capable of coherent rhetoric about politics. 7% is more than fair representation for this criminal administration.

Journalism is supposed to be fair but we knew CNN threw out their integrity ages ago. Not that others haven't but they have a huge audience and don't even try to hide it anymore.

Ikr. Why does the media keep talking about the president when there are children's science fairs and missing planes to cover?

Of course you ignore the part where 96 of the pundits are critical compared to 7 who support him. Sounds like you're the right demographic for CNN.
