Networks Trashed Trump With 90% Negative Spin in 2018, But Did It Matter? At the midpoint of Donald Trump’s first term, the establishment media’s obvious hostility shows no signs of relenting, but polls show this negative coverage has had no discernible impact on the public’s attitudes toward the President. Since January 20, 2017, the Media Research Center has analyzed every moment of coverage of President Trump on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts, seen by approximately 23 million people each night. Highlights: ■ As it was last year, the Trump presidency was the biggest story of 2018, accounting for almost 87 hours of coverage, or 28% of all evening news airtime. But that’s down from 99 hours of coverage in 2017, perhaps a sign the networks are wearying of treating every Trump tweet as deserving of crisis-level coverage. ■ The tone of coverage remains incessantly hostile: 90% negative, vs. just 10% positive (excluding neutral statements), matching the historically bad press we documented in 2017. Yet despite the media’s obvious disapproval, public opinion of the President actually improved slightly during 2018, from an average 40% approval on January 1 to 42.7% approval on December 31, according to RealClearPolitics. Details: Negative spin: To determine the spin of news coverage, our analysts tallied all explicitly evaluative statements about the President or his administration from either reporters, anchors or non-partisan sources such as experts or voters. Evaluations from partisan sources, as well as neutral statements, were not included. As has been the case since the President took office, the tone of network coverage has been exceptionally hostile, ranging from 82% negative in April 2017 (after Trump was praised for a missile strike punishing Syria for a chemical weapons attack) to 96% negative in February 2018 (when the news agenda focused on the Russia investigation, demands for gun control, and a White House aide accused of domestic abuse). Remarkably consistent: The 90% negative spin we calculated roughly matches what the Pew Research Center, not a conservative group, found in their study of coverage of Trump’s first 60 days in office. They found 62% of network stories were negative, vs. 5% positive and 33% neutral. If you remove the neutral stories and look at just the stories with a clear spin, Pew’s bottom line looks like ours: 93% negative spin, vs. just 7% positive. Harvard media scholar Thomas Patterson looked at coverage of Trump’s first 100 days in office. He found NBC’s coverage was 93% negative, CBS’s 91% negative; ABC was not included. His study also found highly negative coverage from leading newspapers and CNN, while only Fox News offered balanced coverage (52% negative vs. 48% positive). The highly-partisan media earn partisan reviews: The media’s confrontational stance seems to have earned them greater respect among Democratic voters, of whom 76% say they trust the media (up from 51% in 2016), according to the most recent Gallup survey. But a meager 21% of Republicans say they trust the press, a near-record gap of 55 percentage points in how the press is viewed by voters of each party. (The record was a 58-point gap in 2017; prior to the age of Trump, this partisan gap never exceeded 40 points.) TV’s Trump agenda: More than half of the Trump coverage on the broadcast evening newscasts in 2018 focused on just five topics: the Russia investigation (858 minutes); immigration policy (643 minutes); the Kavanaugh nomination (435 minutes); dealing with North Korean nukes (410 minutes); and the Michael Cohen/hush money investigation (341 minutes). As the chart shows, the network spin on all of these topics was fiercely negative, ranging from 80% bad press on North Korea, to 99% negative on the Cohen/hush money story. What about the shutdown? The partial government shutdown was the top Trump topic in December, garnering 67 minutes of airtime that month, or about one-fifth of the total Trump coverage. (Note that this figure also includes negotiations prior to the start of the shutdown on December 21). And at least in December, nearly 97% of the evaluations of Trump’s handling of the impasse were negative. In ordinary circumstances, this onslaught of negative publicity would cause the politician on the receiving end of it to reverse course. But the establishment media have been so reliably negative towards this President, for so long, that the effect of their criticism now seems to be virtually nil. As noted above, Trump’s job approval ratings actually rose slightly last year, despite all of the negative coverage. The media elite have clearly waded into the political fray to wage war against this President. But have they accomplished anything beyond cementing their reputation as political partisans, not objective journalists? https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/rich-noyes/2019/01/15/networks-trashed-trump-90-negative-spin-2018-did-it-matter

1-14-2019 Newshound Guru Sunkissed In my opinion, the TIMING of this article is utterly FANTASTIC...this article gives us the DROP DEAD DATE..? (imo). FEBRUARY 02, 2019. JORDAN IS RACING AGAINST TIME. why? Well... imo... it looks like... February 02, 2019 is a deadline date to IMPLEMENTATION. For what? Remember that December 29-30 meeting when many contracts were signed? Looks like Jordan signed some "old" deals that were "renewed" - I suppose we would use the word "updated" (to reflect a new rate? a more competitive price, since so many contractors are FLOODING into Iraq?) So... there's the PRESSURE..! Contracts were signed on December 29-30 and to be IMPLEMENTED BY FEBRUARY 02, 2019..! ..(post 1 of 2).... 1-14-2019 Newshound Guru Sunkissed ...After all the haggling and demands that Iraq has served up to Jordan... the bottom line actually rests with Iraq: THEY MUST HAVE PURCHASING POWER to be able to absorb the MASSIVE QUANTITIES of goods, minerals, etc., coming INTO Iraq! Ball is DEFINITELY in Iraq's court! Promises were made in the BEGINNING of 2018!! (Respect the first quarter! Sound familiar? -- [Guru] Walkingstick was accurate!) And now, the longer they wait, the more difficult, if not impossible it will be for Jordan to perform in time! BUT...in order to perform on their contract... Iraq MUST FIRST HAVE PURCHASING POWER! Iraq HAS TO BE READY AND ABLE TO PAY THEM! Therefore, February 02, 2019, appears to be the back-wall, Drop Dead Date, "to be an exquisite mutual-beneficial relationship." If February 02, 2019 is the Drop Dead Date, then we are looking at Feb 02 - 04 (Monday) for the IQD to go live. However... IMO.... it certainly could go before that date..! ...(post 2 of 2)... 1-14-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The House of Representatives ended its session on Saturday, the House of Representatives finished the first reading of the draft law on financial management. Nothing happened on voting for cabinet members on Saturday. MP of the Alliance for Reform and Reconstruction, Hassan Fadas, said that on Monday, the resolution of the Interior Ministry candidate is the main obstacle to completion of the ministerial cabinet. Let’s see how this plays out…. ...there is news about the intention of Faleh Fayyad too withdraw his candidacy from the Interior. If this happens there may be some real progress finally in this direction. Let’s see how it plays out this week,,,(post 1 of 2)... 1-14-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat But as sure as I am writing this...today, we are all of a sudden going to see a burst of flames as we know the tinder is already starting to smoke and is about ready to flare up. As in starting a good camp fire, we can see that much activity is about to burst into action and will soon move forward very aggressively. The two items they need for this to happen is to get the 2019 budget passed and then these remaining cabinet positions off of proxy and into solid, technocrats for these remaining positions....(post 2 of 2)... 1-14-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [Q? : I’ve always heard the government has nothing to do with the Dinar. That only the CBI could begin the float. If so then why do people say only when the government is set the float can begin.] Monetary policy is the CBI.

So, as for me the signs I see are not mid or late...

15-01-2019 10:54 AM Parliamentary Elections: Changes in the Budget Baghdad : A member of the Committee on Economy and Investment Representative Nada Shaker Jawdat, on Tuesday, the most prominent changes that took place on the law of the budget in 2019, considering that the budget cleared the liberated provinces through increased investment funds . "The changes made to the budget law are very superficial and will not affect the economic reality during the current year," Jawdat told The News . She added that 'joy in the budget is the allocation of additional funds for the reconstruction of the liberated provinces and the development of infrastructure, as well as oil-producing provinces '. "The foreign debt and its payment is an impediment to increasing investment spending and the mere operation," she said, noting that 'Parliament seeks to install all employees of contracts within the budget '.

KRG salaries to be guaranteed in Iraq budget, not political tool: MPs By Rudaw 12/1/2019 The Iraqi parliament in session. The legislature has wrapped up discussions on the budget, but passing it will still be a challenged, say Kurdish MPs. Photo: Rudaw BAGHDAD – Kurdish lawmakers in Baghdad have succeeded in enshrining the payment of Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) employees and Peshmerga in the 2019 budget bill. These payments will be protected, even if the Kurdistan Region fails to hand over oil to the Iraqi government. "We focused on guaranteeing [KRG] employees' payments, and installed in the budget that [salaries] are given to the Kurdistan Region monthly even if there is no political agreement between both sides," Bashir Haddad, deputy speaker of the Iraqi parliament, told Rudaw. The budget bill obliges the Iraqi government to pay the salaries of KRG employees, some 521 billion dinar ($437.8 million) monthly, the same way it pays state employees in other parts of Iraq, Haddad added. These payments are not to be a bargaining tool during political disagreements. Under the bill, the KRG will have to hand over 250,000 barrels of oil daily to Baghdad. The parliament wrapped up its discussion on the 2019 draft budget on Thursday. It will convene on Saturday, but the budget is not on the agenda. While KRG and Peshmerga salaries have been enshrined in the bill, “passing it will not be easy,” Hoshyar Abdullah, a member of the financial committee, wrote on Facebook. The KRG’s failure to hand over oil to Iraq’s state marketing company SOMO has caused upset some lawmakers, he explained. Erbil’s independent oil sales are a major sore point in Baghdad, which stopped sending money to the regional government in 2014 over the issue. Relations between the two governments have improved with the new administration in Baghdad and there is hope that they can resolve some of their longstanding problems, like the disputed areas claimed by both and defined under Article 140 of the constitution. The budget bill dedicates 50 billion Iraqi dinar ($42 million) for reopening Article 140 offices in Kirkuk and Nineveh and an additional 800 billion dinar ($672 million) for implementation of the article. The section of the constitution dictates that the disputed areas must be resolved via a referendum to determine whether they will remain part of federal Iraq or be absorbed by the Kurdistan Region. It was supposed to have been enacted more than a decade ago, but successive governments have failed to do so. The parliament's finance committee is expected to send a delegation to the Kurdistan Region in the near future to discuss these matters and ensure the Region will hand over oil to SOMO. Kurdish lawmakers are hopeful this is a good sign. "Revitalization of Article 140 and dedication of the budget signifies a positive policy by the federal government to work on the issue and not let it die,” MP Muthana Amin told Rudaw. But he warned not to be complacent, pointing to reported ongoing Arabization in Kirkuk.

John Kasich Joins CNN as a Contributor Jon Levine,The Wrap 2 hours 6 minutes ago John Kasich has joined CNN as a contributor, the network told TheWrap on Tuesday. The former Republican Ohio governor has emerged as one of President Trump’s fiercest critics on cable news and is frequently speculated as a possible candidate for a long-shot challenge to the billionaire in 2020. The move is a significant evolution for Kasich, who spent years as a stalwart in Republican politics both as a governor and congressman. From 2001 to 2007, he hosted his own show “Heartland” on Fox News. Kasich was one of the last Republicans standing in a crowded field during the 2016 GOP primary. He hung in the race long enough to win his own state of Ohio, even though his real chances of taking the nomination from Trump had evaporated long before then. On the trail, Trump savagely attacked Kasich in starkly personal terms. When the governor came to campaign in the New York primary, Trump memorably went after his eating habits. Also Read: John Kasich Schools 'The View' Hosts on Katy Perry-Taylor Swift Feud (Video) “Did you see him? He has a news conference, all the time when he’s eating. I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion,” Trump ripped at the time. “I’m always telling my young son Baron, always with my kids, all of them, I say, ‘Children, small, little bites.” As a prominent #NeverTrump Republican, Kasich’s name has been floated by some on the right one who could launch a primary challenge to Trump in 2020. The move has never been successfully carried out in modern times and Kasich is on record tamping down the speculation.

'Like I said: A puppet,' Hillarious Clinton tweets after recent reports about Trump, Russia William Cummings,USA TODAY 19 hours ago President Donald Trump's vanquished 2016 Democratic opponent appears to be relishing his recent difficulties with news reports about his relationship with Russia. "Like I said: A puppet," Hillarious Clinton tweeted Monday, referencing a famous exchange between her and Trump during their third and final presidential debate. On Oct. 19, 2016, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin did not respect the former secretary of state. "Well, that's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States," Clinton replied. "No puppet," Trump said, talking over her. "You're the puppet. No, you're the puppet." "It's pretty clear you won't admit the Russians have engaged in cyber attacks against the United States of America, that you encouraged espionage against our people, that you are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do and that you continue to get help from him because he has a very clear favorite in this race," Clinton continued. Clinton's tweet reiterating her claim that Trump is a Russian puppet comes after news reports over the weekend that added fuel to the debate over Trump's Russia ties. The New York Times reported Friday that the FBI investigated whether Trump was working on Putin's behalf after he fired director James Comey. And on Sunday, The Washington Post reported that Trump went to "extraordinary lengths" to conceal details from his conversations with Putin. "I never worked for Russia," Trump told reporters Monday. He said the very question was a "disgrace" and repeated his belief that the investigation into his potential ties Russian election meddling was "a whole big fat hoax."

Yep Sage..... Here in Italy , immigrants take all the jobs Italians don't feel like going for (they'll say "too hard, too humiliating, that's not what I studied for all these years" etc)......So here one really can't talk about them ( immigrants) stealing jobs....At all Immigrants will instead take everything offered to them cos they are hungry ...Our young folks ( at least here) are not...Evidently... Still.... we have the highest unemployment rate in Western Europe......Bah.....

Hi Shabs, I agree, it's not U.S. entitle minded kids taking on the grungier jobs. I cleaned toilets, offices, detassled corn, picked fruit, cleaned barns and fed livestock. So why aren't they? Why is that work so beneath them? I don't condone hiring illegals, but what U.S. citizen regardless of age is stepping up to do those jobs? There are some great young people out there that I admire and love and give me hope. There are far too many sitting on their fat a$$e$ playing video games, bitching because been asked to take out the garbage, demanding and expecting things they've never lifted a finger to acquire or have a right to. Like those expecting to start out as president of a company or think they can sing or act and are the next Hollywood toy.

My pleasure ATHIM...Thank you...! I used to be a NewsHound, but realized there are many others out there to do that, and I just check around to see what others who have been around a while (I'm 10 years in this) think. There's a big difference between the older Gurus & the newer ones who lack the background history. To me, it will happen, but not necessarily in our timing...LOL..! Be blessed.... RON PS: Here a comment I made on Saturday's Thread: Botzwana wrote: my info comes from this article that states it will be above 3 bucks. Show me kaps article where it says there is too much in circulation. ...... Hi Botzwana, Kap's statement above is based upon his continuing analysis & evaluation of things as they are "today", and are ever changing. The Future of Iraq Project (declassified in 2012) indicated the desire was to return the IQD back to the pre-Saddam rate of $3.33, but it didn't define the time-frame to get it there. In the early days, even Kap held that it could come out in the $3 range but certain conditions had to be met. Adam Montana held to a 10 cent valuation for many years. Many others held firmly to an 86 cent rate. All showed good reasons for these value estimates. But a lot has changed ECONOMICALLY - in Iraq, the USA, and worldwide. Even the CBI Governer Shabibi indicated (in 2010) that the IQD could sustain a $10 or higher rate. However a lot has changed since then (2010), and even since the Jan 2017 article was published. Personally, I'll be happy with anything over 5 cents for a number of reasons, but would be delighted with it over $3. If you recall, Iraq was squabbling with Kuwait around 2012-2014 to not revalue the IQD higher than the Kuwaiti Dinar rate. All these things have been forgotten by the IQD community. We shall see - only when the CBI moves to Article VIII and goes international. Until then, we WAIT...! I hope this clarifies a few things for everyone. I think DinarThug should repost the article as a reminder of what was said 2 years ago. Blessings to all. Be patient and hopefull...! RON

Ah caz your the best. I just heard palozi's negotiation that she wants the Prez. To pass the budget first then negotiate. They think President Trump is an idiot, doh. Just sign it first then read it! Sheez.

The Gov JOB is to protect LEGAL citizens & ENFORCE the Constitution. So if a WALL is needed to protect said LEGAL citizens then what is the argument against it?

You have to fix the hole in the boat before you start to bale it out.

Now WHY do you suppose the U.N. is concerned about Iraq's budget?

Oh ya, now we are talking!!! eliminate zeros from the value 😘😆😋😙 😂🤣😃🤗of the Iraqi currency. Looks like-not from the notes.

Shabs I disagree....no one would be "held hostage" if our gov did it's most basic of function....protect its citizens. For decades all POTUS's turned a blind eye to the problem that is now at historic proportions (immigration). DT stated many many many times that his goal was to build a wall to stem the tide of this problem & protect us. Both parties have known this and should have reacted way before this (gov shutdown) occurred. IMO the ones holding folks hostage are the ones that are voting/positioning against the wall. jmho
