"MRC analysts looked at every broadcast evening news story about the President from January 1 through September 10, and tallied the various words reporters have used this year to describe Trump’s state of mind, grouping them by category," Newsbusters reports. The result: "TV news reporters have saturated the airwaves with subjective language about the President’s emotional state, most of it casting him as an out-of-control hothead."

The most common subjective descriptions of Trump's state of mind involve him being angry, including reporters describing him as "angry," "furious," "fuming," "outraged," "venting," "infuriated," "livid," "enraged," and "seething." The subjective verb choices were also overtly skewed on the three networks' evening news coverage:

When Trump communicated, he was said to be “lashing out” (53), on a “tirade” (8), “blasting” (5), or “erupting” (3). The President was also “on the warpath,” “volcanic,” “unglued,” “spoiling for a fight” and even “went ballistic,” according to reporters at various times this year.

The most likely to describe him in such a way was ABC's "World News Tonight," which did so 106 times from January 1 to September 10. NBC's Nightly News came in second at 53, and CBS Evening News showed particular restraint with just 26 examples of subjectively describing Trump as angry. Newsbusters notes that Trump was described as "angry" in some form or fashion at an average of about 20 times a month.

Descriptions of Obama were more in line with how you would describe a bottle of wine. Fruity, crisp, hint of vanilla, biting, mellow, tart, lavender overtones, just to name a few.

Paired with dark, velvety chocolate, sometimes sweet, sometimes salty. Warning: may contain nuts.
