During Donald Trump’s tenure as a television producer and star on NBC, the network built up his brand and image to disproportionate heights, according to a new study released by the Media Research Center on Tuesday.

From 2004 until 2015, NBC ran 335 stories about Mr. Trump, the overwhelming majority of which promoted his deal-making acumen, business record and foray into television.

Of the 335, only 15 cast a negative light on the controversial businessman’s dealings, the study found, and the vast majority did not disclose the network’s business partnership with Mr. Trump.

In a characteristic story on the mogul, which aired on NBC’s flagship morning program, “Today,” anchors portrayed Mr. Trump as “the ultimate businessman,” with Matt Lauer even going so far as to praise Mr. Trump for his “divine intervention” in the Miss USA beauty pageant.

1. I

I refuse to watch any NBC programming. I believe MSNBC are sellouts and I hope their rating go to complete shit. I despise Mika, Joe Willie, Matt Laurer, goofy ass-ed Savannah Gutherie, even Rachel Maddow turns my stomach now. The worst of all is shit for brains Chuck Todd.

3. Except for Rachel...

I agree with everything you said. And, if truth be told,I'm beginning to side-eye Rachel, wondering at her recent lapses in "objectivity." This is so depressing. Fuck.

2. I don't doubt that for a moment

But I wonder if the Washington Times will undertake a similar analysis of the Fox network? Magic 8 Ball says, "You Gotta Be Shittin' Me."
