Not. but it's not cater of bias. it is an cater of negative bias, the press is looking for what's going wrong in an administration. when you look at trump's first 100 days, it is more negative than clinton's or george w. bush's, but this has been a tough 100 days. i think even if you asked donald trump would you like to do it all over again, i think he would say yes, let's restart the clock. so this has been a very rough 100 days. i think press coverage reflects that. >> and to your point, if you roll out a travel ban and it gets stymied by the courts, and you can't repeal and replace obamacar...

Politics. at the same time, we have the polarization, you had that wonderful tape out in montana about people's reaction to the body slam. 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 what's going wrong. >> professor, we love to claim that we yes or arn for more substance. there's 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 deg...
