2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumPolitical Wire: "Blame the media if Clinton loses."
Thomas Patterson: My analysis of media coverage in the four weeks surrounding both parties national conventions found that her use of a private email server while secretary of State and other alleged scandal references accounted for 11% of Clintons news coverage in the top five television networks and six major newspapers
Excluding neutral reports, 91% of the email-related news reports were negative in tone. Then, there were the references to her character and personal life, which accounted for 4% of the coverage; that was 92% negative.
While Trump declared open warfare on the mainstream media and of late they have cautiously responded in kind it has been Clinton who has suffered substantially more negative news coverage throughout nearly the whole campaign.
How about her foreign, defense, social or economic policies? Dont bother looking. Not a single one of Clintons policy proposals accounted for even 1% of her convention-period coverage; collectively, her policy stands accounted for a mere 4% of it. But she might be thankful for that: News reports about her stances were 71% negative to 29% positive in tone. Trump was quoted more often about her policies than she was. Trumps claim that Clinton created ISIS, for example, got more news attention than her announcement of how she would handle Islamic State.
