MRC Study: 2024 Election Coverage Shows Kamala Harris 78% Positive, Trump 85% Negative, 63-Point Gap

Nov 5, 2024, 02:36 PM

A recent study by the Media Research Center (MRC) indicates that the media coverage of the 2024 U.S. presidential election has been historically biased. The analysis reveals that Vice President Kamala Harris received 78% positive coverage from major networks such as ABC, CBS, and NBC since July, while former President Donald Trump garnered only 15% positive coverage, resulting in a 63-point disparity. The MRC characterized this as the most lopsided election coverage in history, with Trump facing 85% negative coverage overall. This trend has raised concerns about media impartiality during the election cycle.
