## Key points

- A study found a three-to-one gap in negative network coverage.
- The article argues the coverage favours Democrats.
- The figures cited come from the Media Research Center.

## Summary

The article argues that major US broadcast networks give Republicans more negative coverage than Democrats, and says this imbalance undermines their claim to political neutrality. It cites a Media Research Center analysis of evening news coverage in 2026, while presenting the findings as evidence of bias.

The analysis found nearly 57 minutes of negative coverage of Trump and Republicans from 28 September to 26 October, compared with nearly 19 minutes about Democrats. The article also cites a separate September PBS News Hour tally, reporting 94% negative coverage of Republicans and a more evenly split tone for Democrats. These figures come from the Media Research Center, and the article argues that networks give too little attention to Democratic policy proposals and internal divisions.
