CNN’s New Day anchor Chris Cuomo is frustrated that we are not hearing enough from those who oppose Trump. Sad! On Tuesday morning, he grumbled: "He does have a blessing among his base of people really believing the President wants to do the right thing and giving him the benefit of every doubt. Though every time I see one of these panels now, I want you to sit with the people who are not for Trump."
This statement came off as a bit strange seeing how we are constantly hearing from people who oppose Trump. He then went on to state that there is “a base that's equally upset with the media about how they are covering Trump but for the exact opposite reasons of the Trump folks.” That view is even more deranged considering how the media’s purpose is to take down Trump. In fact, 80 percent of media coverage on Trump has been negative. One only needs to examine any recent MRC study to find proof.
Although Cuomo’s statements may have been strange and absurd, they certainly are not surprising (see previous antics here). This incident highlights the media’s habit of sharing false personal views when they are supposed to be impartially sharing the news.

CUOMO: They are the bigger part of the country. They are trying to organize themselves.
CAMEROTA: We hear from them a lot.
CUOMO: I know, but the Trump people say, well that's the media. But you have a base that's equally upset with the media about how they are covering Trump but for the exact opposite reasons of the Trump folks.(...)
