A new study from researchers at harvard university looked at ten major news outlets, found the overwhelming majority of coverage of the new administrations first 100 days was hostile. >> yes. thank god for social science. joining me, author of the study, thomas patterson, professor of government and the press at shorenstein center at the harvards kennedy school. i want to talk about the presidential race and the first 100 days. coverage of both major candidates was incredibly negative. 62% of th...

For donald trump in those two issues in the first 100 days. so to some degree, the press is reflecting whats going on out there, but again theres a selectivity to focus primarily on whats going wrong, rather than what might be going right. >> finally we put on the screen a graph that shows the seven outlets, overall the coverage they had for president trump and people can see, cnn is at the top of the list, nbc and cbs and the times. but fox news, 52, 48 by a narrow margin. but this needs to be ...

In hillary clintons case, her e-mails got about four times the coverage of what she was saying on all of the issues of the campaign, domestic and international. and she said a lot about the issues. so it wasnt as if she wasnt talking about them, but the press was concerned primarily about her e-mails. >> shifting to president trumps first 100 days, well put another graph on the screen that shows that 80% of coverage has been negative. he never had a honeymoon. the viewers can see that puts him a...

You can see that we are polarized. a lot of that is working its way into political discourse. so it is more negative but the press is concentrating on whats going wrong. >> professor, we love to claim that we yearn for more substance. theres a pie chart that says coverage was 42% in the 2016 race about the horse race nature of this. only 10% of coverage was on policy. do we really want policy coverage or do we just say that? >> well, i think to a degree we do say that. you do surveys, people say...

Study is that it showed that hillary clinton had more negative coverage than donald trump during the election but the point was that press when it looks at the political world picks up whats going wrong rather than whats going right. if you look at the last eight presidential elections and look at the coverage of the nominees, theres only one of the nominees who received unbalanced, positive coverage during the general election, that was barack obama in 2008. >> i have a graph that displays what...

Donald trump brought up the bill oreilly situation over at fox. curious, how did that come about and did you report that hope stepped in and tried to move him away from that? >> you know, i dont remember the exact sequencing of it. i dont have the zabruder tape. but, hope, let me put it this way, hope definitely wanted the president to talk about up from structure in that conversation. and we were totally prepared to do that. i think the oreilly comments as i recall came up with the context of h...

"fox and friends" first on the snowy blizzard morning. abby: it is half past the top of the hour. police buried down at this hour, 50 million americans breaking through two feet of snow, blinding with a devastating coastal flooding lodz clayton: is closed as radar indicates what is to come, air travel crippling 6000 flights canceled or delayed. abby: fox coverage, we are tracking a new path. >> reporter: we are in that path, cleaning this up nonstop throughout the morning. within minutes we have...

Stranded in the middle of a mudslide pleading for help on facebook live. >> everything just got washed away with mud. some of the cars are getting washed away. if someone can call cal train or whoever and send them up to our house. >> bill: thats one way of doing it. heavy rainfall triggered the mudslide that left major damage. emergency crews had a hard time reaching the woman and her family. they eventually, however, did help them and lead them to safety. >> this big yard that i built and all ...

Bernie? >> thats a very important question. ive written several books, not to mention columns on my website about liberal bias in the media. but ive always argued that in a free country, we need a strong, credible mainstream media. people need to believe it. we dont have that. thats not good for donald trump, thats not good for liberals, thats not good for conservatives. we need to believe what they tell us and right now, bill, a big chunk of the american electorate dont. >> bill: here is my imp...
