I would say the likes of CNN and MSNBC have actually stepped up their anti-Trump agenda in the face of this.

I think Trump and the GOP are right to call out bad journalism. Some of the stories have been shocking. The general public is also losing trust in the credibility of mainstream media – and a lot of polls indicate this.

Seriously, the lack of editors, copy staff & researchers has meant standards have dropped overall. Whereas Woodward & Bernstein of Watergate fame wouldn't publish without 2 independent sources confirming anything they were told, especially from Deep Throat (Mark Felt of the FBI), today it's get it first, get it fast, get it now. Get it right, not so much. See Fox & CNN getting the SCOTUS Obamacare decision wrong, in CNN's case for a full ten minutes.

The fact that it is negative does not necessarily mean it is biased.......

I for one am rather surprised about the HIGH percentage of positive remarks

How so?

Should unbiased mean he has 50 plus and 50 minus? Or generally a positive press? What is a level playing field?

I certainly have made my mind up yes, perhaps you could call that biased but I hear what I hear and see what I see and it is not the interpretation of the press that made me draw my conclusions, its he himself.

I don't believe that true objectivity can exist.....but I believe that some people are more objective than others certainly.

What I said was based upon what you said yourself. Most media is left centred or centralist and Trump receives far more criticism than previous presidents so you saying that you are surprised that he receives what little positive press he does leads me to conclude that you are biased yourself.

All totally ad hoc of course. I could be wrong but it's my take.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Projected on the US you have a point. Even if "central" over there means something completely different from here you would expect to at least initially comments being somewhat "balanced".
But you may oversee the possibility that even relatively objective media have no other choice then comment negatively as a result of his thinking, his way of communication and his actions.

If you care to have look this sums it up perfectly for me:

a lying prick of a new ambassador to the US here in Holland gets confronted with his lies from the past, gets asked about it and then calls it, in perfect Trump style, fake news. Gets confronted with that after shown his original comments then denies that he called it fake news. Very quickly rectifying it with: at least I think....., this is the same interview, seconds before.

Nothing do do with media bias I 'd say, unless you assume it is just a little blip they have cut out of a fountain of honesty and goodness of the chap. I partly see what I want to see I realize, but please don't think the piss.
