90+ % of the news media is biased against this administration. Having been very wrong in their predictions of the 2016 election they are still trying
to make their initial predictions true by any means in spite of contrary facts which they either ignore, or report in a misleading way, that show the administration being quite successful with positive results for enacted polices.

The accusation, not yet proven.

Most of the news org as shown by different studies are not merely checks on the powerful they have become active partisans shaping news events reflecting their views presenting them as factule.
So, a news organization (FOX) specifically created to present biased (conservative) news, STILL only reports favorably on Trump ~50% of the time!?! In my view, that is horrible, considering.I would call it balanced its not pravda maybe you might like reading that Perhaps you could find Israeli news sources that may report >50% favorability towards Trump, but I doubt that you could find anyone else.
For one who is supposed to be a scientist I would have thought you would have questioned why the 90% negative ,is it plausible.
What are the underlying factors, like who owns most of the news organisationsThis infographic created by Jason at Frugal Dad shows that almost all media comes from the same six sources.
That's consolidated from 50 companies back in 1983.
NOTE: This infographic is from last year and is missing some key transactions. GE does not own NBC (or Comcast or any media) anymore. So that 6th company is now Comcast. And Time Warner doesn't own AOL , so Huffington Post isn't affiliated with them.
But the fact that a few companies own everything demonstrates "the illusion of choice," Frugal Dad says. While some big sites, like Digg and Reddit aren't owned by any of the corporations, Time Warner owns news sites read by millions of Americans every year.
Do you think that 90%+ of news organizations have ownership/management that has liberal biases? They have a vested interest in creating profit apparently at any cost. Why do so many news organizations, including those who are run by conservatives, and from allied countries..., appear to be unfavorable towards Trump? Why does Trump’s own daughter state that it is wrong to call reporters enemies of the state? ... Calling news organizations or individuals enemies of the state is very troubling! Not so much if its shown to be biased, untrustworthy, and partisan.
Instead of acting as an independent observer presenting facts allowing viewers to decide, even positive events are portrayed as negative.
