Report shows how NBC BURIED stories about Trump scams while boosting his image for YEARS

The Media Research Center released a very long report showing just how NBC covered up Trump scams for years while boosting his image, long before his presidential run.

The Washington Examiner has more details:

“NBC news made Donald Trump into “‘the ultimate businessman,'” said the report for the Media Research Center’s business division.

According to MRC Business, “From 2004-2015, the network dubbed Trump ‘King of the Universe,’ touted his ‘divine’ nature in a Miss USA scandal, promoted his business during the Today show and even urged a voter to write him in on a presidential election ballot. During that time, NBC barely covered his flops as a businessman and failed to disclose its partnerships with him in critical stories.”‘

Here’s a chart of the coverage they developed:

In promoting Trump, which in turn helped NBC’s bottom line during their relationship, the network produced an overwhelming number of positive news stories about the real estate tycoon.

From 2004-2015, the network produced 320 positive stories about Trump and just 15 considered negative.

“NBC lionized Trump with 21 times more positive than negative stories. The network also severely underreported his failures as a businessman, which included Trump Network, Trump Mortgage, Trump Magazine, and many others. From 2004 through the beginning of 2015, NBC promoted Trump’s business and his success with 320 stories, but only covered his failures 15 times. In 13 of the 15 stories on Trump’s flops, the network failed to disclose its business partnerships with him,” said the report written by Sam Dorman.

The report is comprehensive and covers a lot of ground, but the upshot is that Trump has been bamboozling the American public for decades, and the media has been helping him since long before his presidential run. It really makes you wonder how they have benefitted from the relationship, and what promises he might have to fulfill if he ever, God forbid, plants his toupee in the White House.
