Network bias exposed in coverage of Trump vs Biden tell-all books

One simple demonstration of biased networks is their “news” coverage of political books, especially what is called the book “Tell-All”. They adore Trump “narrates everything” and cannot hold those volumes Democrats. This bias first appears in book publishers. Democrats are rarely encouraged to write “tell everything” because it harms the party brands.

Back in 2018 ABC, CBS and NBC have assigned more than two hours and 20 minutes of coverage without breath Michael Wolff in one week because of their anti-Trump The book “Fire and Fury On NBC “Today”, co-organizer Savannah Guthrie pushed Wolff on Trump’s mental fitness. “One of the main topics is that, according to your reporting, all around the president – senior advisers, family members, each of them – question his intelligence and fitness for duty.”

Wolff eagerly underlined, “Let me put a marker in the sand here: 100 percent of people around me.”

Airtime bias: networks are denying the sympathy of all who oppose Trump

In August 2018, a promotion machine again broke out for the former Star “Apprentice” by Omarosa Manigault-Newman and her book “Unchid”. ABC, CBS and NBC performed 93 minutes of cover coverage, as the author of her time claimed with Trump from the outside and inside the White House that she was a “racist” that used “N-Riječ”. The NBC gave him the most time, perhaps doing penance because Trump did a national star on “trainee”. The ABC “Good Morning America” ​​even covered Omarosa’s claim that Trump wanted to “start the war in the race.”

These books came out in Trump’s second year in power. AND New Biden “Tell-All” Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson came out for months after President Biden left the White House. When the first book reviews appeared in New Yorker and Axios, where we learned that Biden did not recognize the actor George Clooney in collecting funds in 2024, and the assistants of Biden were considering putting a wheelchair after the election, only NBC offered a short report that summarized the collectors. ABC, CBS and PBS ignored it.

The sample continued. Before the book came out on Tuesday, only NBC spent more than a minute at the findings of the book on their morning and evening news. ABC and CBS combined did not reach the whole minute of coverage. “PBS News Hour” was the worst in the crowd. They aired absolutely no discussion of anything revealed in the book (although they briefly alluded to the existence of a “book.”)

Of the big three, only CBS aired an interview with the authors. For example, he broadcast interviews that started on Monday, and PBS followed Thursday. “CBS Mornings,” host Gayle King, asked the apparently question of time: “Why didn’t you share it before, as soon as you got it, as opposed to collecting all the information and then dropped them into a book that you would undoubtedly profit from?”

Tapper claimed they would have shattered these blades That they found them in real time. But it is also true that the Democrats felt more free after they lost the White House to (mostly anonymously) to accept these authors that they covered or diminished Biden’s failures – despite the fact that a large number of Americans said that Biden was too old to serve another term.

Unfortunately, the NBC was among the broadcast TV networks in playing sound sound from the Special Advisor Robert Hur, the President Biden’s examination of October 2023, a penalty who is not remembered when he was Vice President. (Eg -ov “Fresh Air” also led the Hur clip in their interview for Tapper.)

This coincides with the fact that the nets avoided Hur before deciding not to accuse Biden. From February 1 to November 20, 2023, a large three networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) could only collect four minutes and 52 seconds of the total HUR – combined. Almost all this time was on ABC. In contrast, we counted the 2,092 minutes of covering Trump and the alleged Russian agreement from January 20, 2017 to December 2018, it is a dramatic contrast.

While Tapper and Thompson have regretted a few interviews on how they are too Gently on the bidet Before this book and these conservative media were “right” to start this issue during the Biden Presidency, the network was nothing like Megyn Kelly in the pressure of that media point. Not only did they participate in the neglect of Biden’s fall. They aggressively pushed the White House line that these were talkative points for conversations to question Biden’s fitness.

Some TV journalists could publicly state “Gee, after this debacle we have to do better better.” Some will use this to improve the double standard, as if they had learned to be fierce in questioning the health discoveries of President Trump. But they surely showed it during Trump’s first term.

After completing the Tapper-Thompson Parade, betting money should be placed on nets that return to its natural method, repeating Democratic message days without serious examination.
