Harvard - Media Bias - 2016 Election


Harvard study documents anti-Clinton media bias


"A new report by Harvard University’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society has conclusively documented what many of us have suspected, and what Hillary Clinton observes in her new book, What Happened: media coverage of the 2016 presidential campaign heavily favored Donald Trump. The researchers further concluded that not only are right-wing and mainstream media polarized politically, but they operate according to different ethical and journalistic standards."



"The report, titled “Partisanship, Propaganda, & Disinformation:
Online Media & the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election,” found that
unethical journalistic practices driven by the desire to produce
“clickbait,” coupled with the viral sharing power of social media,
resulted in a proliferation of disinformation and propaganda that tipped
the election in Donald Trump’s favor."
