According to a report by the Media Research Center, legacy media news outlets were terribly biased toward Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. After analyzing over 600 stories about the 2024 presidential race, they found that Harris received 78% positive coverage! While Donald Trump received 85% negative coverage. Critics contend that too many legacy media journalists have become Democratic public relations mouthpieces—uncritically accepting Democratic talking points and political narratives. This political bias has contributed to Americans’ distrust of legacy media outlets. According to a Gallup poll taken in September, Americans have record-low trust in the news media. As a result, center-right aligned voters are tuning into new media, including podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience, All-In, and The Tucker Carlson Show. Joe Rogan has 14.5 million followers alone, which is about twice the number of the top legacy media outlet news show.
