The majority of the time, without question.
So, I try and ask this question when reading articles in MSM (and you can include all standard ones, including Fox): how would you expect "the story" to read/be covered if Obama were the president? Or any less offensive personality, Democrat or Republican? Yes, it takes some speculation - but it's not as difficult as one might think. What I think it helps you realize is the number of gratuitous shots or spins that are presented because so many in the media are so against Donald Trump.
I think a retrospective on the media during the Trump presidency 20 years from now (assuming we survive) would be pretty interesting. It's "too close" right now for too many. But maybe when the froth settles down a bit . . .
