A “conservative” media watchdog group has come out with the breathless discovery that 92 percent of the television coverage of the Current Occupant’s immigration policy is negative.
The question that arises from that, of course, is how did anyone find enough good things to say about the administration’s border policy to add up to 8 percent that was positive?
The problem is that this is an analysis done with the assumption that all media coverage of a thing is deliberately positive or negative. Because the point of some people and some organizations is to slant information for or against a certain person or policy, they assume that that is everyone else’s point, too.
