i'm always a little wary of this topic of comparing percentages of positive and negative coverage as if it's all that cut and dried and arbitrary. who decides what counts as positive coverage and negative coverage? how is that defined? if Kamala robs a bank in broad daylight and it's caught on film and I report on it, does that count as "negative coverage" even though it's true? or are they only talking about opinion pieces? this is like in sports when people argue about one team getting penalties way more than their opponent, as if the amount of penalties called is always supposed to be close to even, no matter what actually happened on the field.
