Weekly Example of Media Bias - April 5, 2017
1. During the meeting with Trump, NAM head Timmons told the President the record optimism is due to: “...[your] focus on taxes, regulations, infrastructure investment. We appreciate your commitment to investment and job creation and manufacturing...” What type of bias does the media display by not reporting this story?
2. Only The Daily Caller reported: “New Survey Shows How Optimistic Manufacturers Are Under Trump.” The few that did report on NAM instead had similar headlines:
“President Trump Meets With National Association Of Manufacturers”
“Trump meets with manufacturing group”
Why do you think the media chose not to report a 20 year record high in optimism among manufacturers?
CHALLENGE: Do an internet search to determine how many major media outlets reported on this positive news relating to President Trump's policies. (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Washington Post…) List your results.
