1. What is the role of the media?

2. What type of bias do ABC, NBC and CBS display when reporting on President Trump?

3. An October 6 Rasmussen poll showed that 46% of likely U.S. voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove. Do you think the number would be different if news reports on President Trump were more neutral (if they just reported on what he did/said without slanting the coverage)?
For example: A CNN poll taken in late September found more Americans (49%) said players who knelt during the National Anthem were doing the wrong thing, compared to 43% who said it was the right thing. Yet broadcast evening news coverage of this topic was slanted about four-to-one against the President, with 59 comments criticizing him (81%) vs. 14 in support (19%).
Explain your answer.
