Trump White House Repeatedly Cite MRC Coverage Studies
President Trump is directly citing MRC-style media bias numbers at major public events. In multiple speeches in recent weeks, President Trump highlighted that he received 95% negative press coverage during the election — a statistic long documented by the Media Research Center. He used it to explain his landslide victory despite overwhelming media hostility, declaring “there’s something wrong with the news” and that “the fake news really has to change.”
The White House is using specific MRC-documented examples of media neglect and bias. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, during a White House briefing carried live on Fox News, cited an MRC-style survey on the Sheridan Gorman case, revealing the shocking disparity in coverage: ABC spent just 1 minute 19 seconds, CBS 2 minutes 1 second, and NBC only 23 seconds on the murder of a young American woman by an illegal immigrant.
MRC research has moved from the margins into the center of the national conversation, influencing the President and the White House. By repeatedly referencing extreme negative coverage percentages and specific under-covered tragedies like the Sheridan Gorman murder, both President Trump and Press Secretary Leavitt are elevating the Media Research Center’s findings to the highest levels of government and primetime audiences.
Special Report: 183 to 6, Google News Suppresses Right-Leaning Outlets in March Iran War Coverage
Google News crushed right-leaning outlets in its March Iran war coverage, running 183 left-leaning stories against just 6 right-leaning ones out of 239 total — a staggering 76.6% left tilt that reached up to 150 million Americans daily.
The platform aggressively promoted anti-U.S. headlines from CNN, AP, The Daily Beast, and Al Jazeera while blacklisting major conservative sites like Breitbart, Newsmax, and The Gateway Pundit — even padding its meager right-leaning count with trivial non-war stories.
This blatant suppression distorts public understanding of the war, pushes a radical left-wing narrative, and proves Google News functions as an editorial gatekeeper rather than a neutral aggregator.
MS NOW: Hitler Was Better Than Trump, America Committed Suicide
MS Now’s Lawrence O’Donnell declared Hitler “better” than Trump because no tyrant in history, not Hitler, not any cruel king, ever threatened that “a whole civilization will die tonight.”
O’Donnell claimed America “committed suicide” as a civilization by re-electing Trump, ending 250 years of constitutional tradition and permanently staining U.S. history.
The rant ignored actual genocides like the Holocaust and Holodomor while fixating on Trump’s indictments and personal scandals to paint voters as destroyers of American civilization.
Ceasefire? Morning Joe Again Ties Trump to ‘Monsters of History’
Even after the Iran ceasefire, Morning Joe co-host Jonathan Lemire doubled down, linking Trump’s rhetoric to “the monsters of history” like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un, calling it unprecedented for a U.S. president.
Lemire and guest David French escalated to claims of “genocidal-like behavior,” “war crimes,” and an “absolute stain” on America, flatly rejecting the idea that Trump’s tough talk helped force the deal.
The show ignored any diplomatic benefit from the president’s pressure and recycled its favorite smear, proving Morning Joe cares more about demonizing Trump than reporting peace.
White House’s Leavitt Slams Journos Asking If U.S. Lost ‘Moral High Ground’ vs. Iran
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully rejected journalists’ suggestions that the U.S. had lost the moral high ground against Iran, declaring “The President absolutely has the moral high ground over the Iranian terrorist regime” and calling the insinuation “frankly, insulting.”
Leavitt highlighted Iran’s decades of atrocities — including “Death to America” chants for 47 years, attacks on U.S. troops, killing protesters, oppressing women, and criminalizing homosexuality — while defending Trump’s tough rhetoric as the key driver that forced Iran into a ceasefire and reopened the Strait of Hormuz.
She emphasized that Trump prioritizes results over polished language, crediting his strong negotiating style for delivering peace, and slammed the press for absurdly equivocating between America and a terror-sponsoring regime.
