Hard as it is to imagine, the mainstream press has grown even more hostile to President Donald Trump during the epochal COVID-19 crisis.
Even more unrelenting than the daily death counts and we-are-all-doomed coverage of the coronavirus has been the media's increasingly hostile - if you can believe that - coverage of Trump during this once-in-a-lifetime crisis.
"As Trump urges reopening, thousands getting sick on the job."
Over the past few months, the press has attacked Trump for being too optimistic, for being too abrasive, for taking medications they don't approve of.
The Media Research Center looked at front-page Washington Post stories in the first four months of the year and found that negative stories about the Trump administration's response outweighed positive ones by 25-to-1.
The latest Gallup tracking poll finds that 49% approve of the job Trump is doing, which is two points higher than Obama's approval rating at the same point in his first term.
The Real Clear Politics average had Trump at 46% on May 18, which except for a brief moment in March, is the highest it's been since he took office.
