>>>Where I think you're wrong, is in assuming that people think that there's only one possible conclusion. I'm advancing something that I think is reasonable based on the results that you cited. What you call a hypothesis is actually a conclusion based on numbers and facts.

>What you call "examples" are in fact pieces of evidence disproving your hypothesis. If you want to cite examples (aka evidence) disproving my hypothesis that the MSM is highly partisan, go for it. But doubling-down on your allegations or insisting they're based on facts, isn't compelling.

What you've been quoting are examples of media negativity that is clearly shown in the numbers of the study.
The MSM is highly partisan? I'd agree with that, but then what do you do with that conclusion? Then, why is the MSM so highly partisan? And if it is, what do you suppose we should do? Where do you get your news, Infowars?
For example, I posted a while back, at your request, direct inflammatory quotes from Trump that he made during the campaign, media negativity notwithstanding. I base my judgement on what I see him say and do, not on what others say about him.

>>>I'll have to refer you back to the coverage of the Republican primaries, when HRC or Podesta had nothing to do with Trump. See what kind of coverage he got back then, and what he was saying about the media.

>Except that the leaks confirm that initially they primed the MSM to promote Trump over other candidates, believing he'd be an easier chump to beat.

Really? Who primed the MSM; the DNC or the RNC? Sorry, but your conjecture above doesn't stand as a valid argument. During the Republican primaries the conservative media covered most of the Republican debates. But, even that doesn't matter as much. Regardless of the media coverage, he professed baseless claims about, and trivial attacks on the other contestants. More than once, he behaved like an unscrupulous jerk.
