MSNBC host Joy Ann Reid sincerely believes that the media is biased in favor of Republicans.

“There is nothing so predictable as media spin in favor of Republicans,” Reid tweeted on Monday, presumably in response to coverage of the government shutdown.

Many establishment media outlets placed blame on Democrats for the shutdown because they blocked a spending bill from passing the Senate with 60 votes. (RELATED: NYT, AP, Bloomberg, And Legacy Media Blame Dems For Gov’t Shutdown)

The coverage clearly pained Reid, who is now apparently convinced that the same media outlets President Trump often calls “fake news” are biased in favor of Republicans.

The Media Research Center conducted a study over the past year and found that ABC, CBS, and NBC news coverage of the Trump administration has been 90 percent negative since Trump’s inauguration.  (RELATED: STUDY: 90 Percent Negative Media Coverage Of Trump In 2017)
