This study analyzed the tone of Fox Business Network's coverage of presidential candidates Donald Trump and John Kasich during the 2016 primaries. It found that Trump received more negative coverage (67%) than Kasich (52%), supporting the hypothesis that the media has a pro-establishment bias. The coverage focused most on candidates' character and horserace performance. Trump was depicted negatively as unpolished and offensive, while Kasich was seen as too passive. Reporters often expressed opinions on which candidate would win primaries based on campaign strategies. Kasich received more positive coverage of his policies due to his experience in government budgets. The study found evidence that the media frames candidates in ways that shape public perceptions.

Introduction
This study analyzed Fox Business Network’s coverage of presidential candidates, Donald
Trump and John Kasich, specifically looking at how often each candidate is described in a
negative tone. The media has a role to accurately inform the American population, but in the
process, they also shape public attitude. The media should act as a forum and provide equal and
balanced news on both candidates. However, it is impossible to cover every newsworthy event
objectively when reporters have been seen as pro-establishment in the past. Donald Trump is
anti-establishment when describing his relationship with the Republican Party, while John
Kasich is pro-establishment. This allows journalists to frame a story to either emphasize or
deemphasize certain features of each candidate, depending on which candidate they support.
Because of journalists being pro-establishment, reporters would supposedly frame articles that
show support for John Kasich and not Donald Trump. Framing is an important tool for news
outlets because it shapes public opinion and influences the audience’s perceptions on the
candidates, but it goes unnoticed by the general public.
This study specifically looks at tone to examine how journalists frame and highlight
attributes of Trump and Kasich. Tone tells the audience how to think about an issue. It tells the
journalist’s own opinion on the candidate. Therefore, the research question of the study is if the
media is actually pro-establishment by looking at Fox Business Network’s use of tone to frame
candidates, Donald Trump and John Kasich. Because journalists report in a negative tone
regardless of the subject, it is hypothesized that John Kasich will have less negative coverage
than Donald Trump because the media is seen as having a pro-establishment bias.
2. Literature Review
Nelson, Clawson, and Oxley (1997) showed that the choices journalists make on how to
cover a story results in different portrayals, or frames, of the same event. These different frames
affect the audience’s perception on an issue, and therefore, the opinions expressed by the public.
Robert Entmann (1993) goes further into saying framing influences, “…a human consciousness
is exerted by the transfer (or communication) of information from one location-such as a speech,
utterance, news report, or novel-to that consciousness.” Citizens are highly susceptible to media
images. Framing defines problems by determining what an agent is doing with what costs and
benefits, and then journalists make moral judgments on the agent. If the judgment of the agent is
good, journalists will frame an article to be positive in describing the agent. If the judgment is
bad, journalists will negatively frame the agent. Communicators, or reporters, make conscious
and unconscious framing judgments in deciding what to say. The actual text contains the
presence of stereotyped images and sentences that reinforce the communicator’s judgment and
creates a frame. Therefore, the frames guide the receiver’s conclusions on the issue presented.
Stephen J. Farnsworth and Robert S. Lichter (2010) discuss that journalists try to keep
politicians in line, and therefore, report in a negative tone no matter what the agent is. High
negativity levels of the media increased after the Watergate years, which pushed campaign news
coverage in a more critical direction. Overall, there is more negative news than positive news
for most presidential candidates. However, there is a general pattern that Democrats receive
more favorable press than Republican candidates. During the primaries, reporters focus on
campaign strategies rather than policies. Also during this time, reporters express their dismay
over the candidates. When reporters present their cynical views of candidates, citizens are
encouraged to do the same.
3. Walter Karp (1988) looks at how the media is pro-establishment. Most news stories are
based on official sources like members of Congress and presidential aids. American journalism
relies on official sources. As Lyndon Johnson said, “Reporters are puppets. They simply
respond to the pull of the most powerful strings.” The media barely writes any investigative
journalism. Journalists are so passive that “leaks” and “exclusives” are not a sign of expertise;
the sources are congressman telling the media what to think and say about Congress- excluding
themselves. The passivity of the media is mistakenly called objectivity. However, objectivity
cannot be possible because no story is newsworthy, “unless some official enough spokesman
could be found to say so.”
Research Design
To address the question if the media is really pro-establishment, a content analysis will
be used. Content analysis is, “a summarizing, quantitative analysis of messages that relies on the
scientific method (including attention to objectivity-intersubjectivity, a priori design, reliability,
validity, generalizability, replicability, and hypothesis testing) and is not limited as to the types
of variables that can be measured or the context in which the messages are created and
presented” (Nuendorf 2001). Content analysis is appropriate for this study because it looks at
the tone in messages between two candidates to understand if the media is pro-establishment.
Since television is still the dominant source of news for most households, this study
looked at Fox Business Network for articles. The channel reaches large groups of people and is
inexpensive for many families. Fox Business Network was selected because the station is
notoriously right-winged, and so, there will be no party affiliation bias when reporting on
Republicans, Donald Trump and John Kasich.
4. Seventy articles were found by separately searching ‘Donald Trump’ and ‘John Kasich’
into LexisNexis Academic, with advanced setting to only include Fox Business Network
Transcripts that aired from November 1, 2015 to March 1, 2016. The resulting sample included
357 samples for Donald Trump and 136 samples for John Kasich. Out of all of the transcripts
found for Donald Trump, most were from Fox News Network (n=271), but there were a few
from Lou Dobbs Tonight (n=75). A slim margin came from Stossel (n=11). From the John
Kasich transcripts, the majority, again, were from Fox News Network (n=88) and Lou Dobbs
Tonight (n=44), with Stossel being in the minority (n=4). From the total samples, one in every
ten transcripts will be analyzed for Trump and one in every three will be analyzed for Kasich.
The independent variable, the pro-establishment bias of the media and media
sources/indexing, will be measured by the dependent variable, the tone of the coverage of each
candidate. Individual articles are broken into three categories (horserace coverage, policies, and
character) and each category is coded as a negative tone if they make negative and opinionated
references to Donald Trump’s or John Kasich’s:
i. standing in the 2016 primaries
1. example: Trump/Kasich down in polls after performing terrible in
debate
ii. proposed domestic and foreign policies
1. example: Trump/Kasich is talking to himself to consult on policy
changes after saying his mind is the best
iii. character
1. example: Trump/Kasich lying about sex scandal for ten years
5. Categories are not coded as negative if the journalist reports a negative, unbiased event (ie.
falling behind in the polls) and does not follow it with an opinionated, negative reference to the
candidate.
An article is broken into three categories and each category is coded as a positive tone if
they make positive and opinionated references to Donald Trump’s or John Kasich’s:
i. standing in the 2016 primaries
2. example: Trump/Kasich up in polls after promising debate
performance
ii. his proposed domestic and foreign policies
3. example: Trump/Kasich has found an unstoppable plan to end the
recession
iii. character
4. example: Trump/Kasich makes heartwarming speech about
veterans
Article categories are not coded as positive if the journalist reports a positive, unbiased event
(ie. pulling ahead in the polls) and does not follow it with an opinionated, positive reference to
the candidate.
Article categories are coded as a neutral tone if the article does not meet any of the
criteria above.
The results of the analysis will tally up how many negative, positive, or neutral tones are
coded for each of the three categories for Trump and Kasich. Then each negative and positive
tone tallies are summed together for each candidate and put into a percentage to find the total
amount of positive and negative toned coverage.
6. Analysis
The purpose of this study was to examine if the media is pro-establishment. This study
looked at Fox Business Network’s tone when reporting on Donald Trump and John Kasich
during the 2016 presidential election season. The articles that were examined for Trump were
from Fox Business Network (n= 24), Lou Dobbs Tonight (n=10), and Stossel (n=1). For Kasich,
most were from Fox Business Network as well (n=30), with a few from Lou Dobbs Tonight
(n=5). Of all 70 articles, most came from the months of Janurary (n=20) and February (n=27). A
modest amount came from November (n=14) and December (n=6). During November through
March, Trump was the primary focus of Fox Business Network, having 221 more articles than
Kasich.
When summing together all references made to the horserace, policies, and character of
each candidate, Kasich had less negative coverage (52%) than Trump (67%). This supports the
hypothesis that the media is pro-establishment, and therefore, Kasich would have less negative
coverage than Trump. While most of the references to the candidates were neutral, negative tone
was more common than positive tone. This also supported the idea that reporters are more
critical of politicians since Watergate.
In the 35 articles that were analyzed for Trump, 17% (n=6) had a negative tone on
horserace coverage, 23% (n=8) had a positive tone, and 60% (n=21) had a neutral tone or did
not mention horserace. On Trump’s domestic and foreign policies, 26% (n=9) were negative,
14% (n=5) were positive, and 60% (n=21) were neutral or did not mention policies. On Trump’s
character, 46% (n=16) were negative, 6% (n=2) were positive, and 49% (n=17) were neutral or
did not mention character (Table 1).

8. Regarding both candidates, policy references were the smallest. Fox Business Network
mostly focused on each candidate’s character, with their horserace coverage getting the second
highest amount of references. This supports Stephen J. Farnsworth and Robert S. Lichter
literature that during primaries, journalists report on campaign strategies and if they see the
candidates as a viable president. Trump’s horserace coverage had a central theme that he
dominated the rest of the candidates because of his ability to draw a strong, opinionated crowd
and his unusual strategy tactics using Twitter and attacking other candidates during debates. Lou
Dobbs explained on January 26, 2016 that, “Donald Trump's fiercest opponent says he could be
unstoppable.” His character coverage, however, had a theme of being unpolished, conceited, and
offensive towards minorities and women. On February 25, 2016, Lou Dobbs uses Trump’s
quarrel with former president of Mexico, Vincent Fox, as an example of Trumps being
unpolished and conceited:
Donald Trump tweeted this response, "Former president of Mexico Vicente Fox
horribly used the F-word when discussing the wall. He must apologize. If I did that,
there would be an uproar.
Kasich’s horserace coverage focused on him not being assertive enough. Central
references discussed how he spent all of his time and resources to win New Hampshire, but he
then did not properly use the momentum of his second place victory to fuel the rest of his
campaign. This sense of non-assertiveness in his campaign strategy bled into his character
coverage, with Fox most often describing Kasich as laid back and staying in the shadows of
other candidates. On February 10, 2016 on Fox News Network, Frederic Wood Barnes (“The
Weekly Standard” editor) stated, “The problem for John Kasich is how does -- he may be a one-
hit wonder. He does not have a national campaign.” Also, Matt Murray, Deputy Editor-in-Chief
9. of the Wall Street Journal, discussed Kasich’s campaign strategy negatively on November 12,
2015 in Fox News Network :
I think Kasich may have spoken to the head though, and Trump was speaking to the
heart. I mean, there's no question that Trump's immigration policy has been a driver for
him and a driver throughout the entire campaign that they all have to react to. So in some
ways Kasich might have been expressing what some other candidates are thinking but
not saying; but I'm not sure that it really appeals deeply to the heart for primary voters at
this point in time.
However, Kasich was described as being the only viable candidate for the Republican
nomination with his experience working on the national budget, his professional manner, and
priding himself in being the only candidate that did not stoop down to attack his fellow running
mates. On January 26, 2016 on Fox News Network, Trish Regan discussed Kasich as an honest
man since, “people on both sides of the aisle really like John Kasich.” While he has an honest
and likeable character, Kasich was also described as not being assertive and weak. When
discussing Kasich’s attitude towards campaigning, Carl Cameron, Fox correspondent, said,
“Ohio governor John Kasich put little effort” on Lou Dobbs Tonight on February 23, 2016.
With the few references to policies as there was, most were about Trump’s isolationism
ideal and how his foreign policy proposals would be impossible to implement. On February 26,
2016 on Fox News Network, Radio host David Webb made an analogy regarding Trump’s
immigration policy:
No, this is going no where. It's kind of like let's ban Donald Trump. You got a couple of
guys, the Green Party, coupled of this real left wing Labour Party-types and the say, "We're
going to this and ask it personal their system." They're after them and get it through committee
and their parliamentary system and after floor vote or floor debate, it's not happening. It's not
going to happen. It's just over.
With regard to his economic proposals, Trump had mixed reviews. Some articles said
the policies were not logical; others believed Trump knew what to do with the economy and
how to create jobs because of his expertise on Wall Street. Almost all references about Kasich’s
10. policies had to do with economic reform and how the candidate had so much experience
working with a budget that his proposals seemed unfailable. On November 11, 2015 on Fox
News Network, Fox News Senior Correspondent Charlie Gasparino shared his view that, “what's
interesting about John Kasich, he worked for a bank. He worked for Lehman Brothers.”
The positive or negative references made about the candidates therefore directly affected
their image. The media discussed the current poll standings and campaign strategy of each
candidate most frequently. With these images of horserace, reporters framed each candidate as
whether they believed the candidate could be a viable president. Trump was discussed as being
the dominant front-runner, while Kasich was described as always lagging far behind in the polls.
Journalists often expressed their opinion on which candidate they thought would win an
upcoming primary after analyzing each candidate’s campaign strategies, especially on Lou
Dobbs Tonight.
Reporters also framed candidates by their experience as well. Kasich had extreme bias
when being framed for his experience. Kasich’s policy coverage was actually more positive than
negative, all because he was thought of being knowledgeable after working at Lehman Brothers.
Trump’s policy coverage was mostly negative, with reporters sarcastically speaking of Trump’s
immigration policy and lack of experience working in a political setting. This reflected
reporters’ thoughts about how Trump is a businessman who is not suited to be a politician.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this studied supported the hypothesis that the media is pro-establishment.
Reporters mostly expressed their opinions and matching tones through the viability frame and
the experience frame. Kasich had an overwhelming amount of positive coverage compared to
11. Trump, but both candidates had more negative coverage than positive. The number of policy
references was the smallest, while journalists talked mostly about horserace in the primaries.
Kasich had mostly positive policy coverage, with very negative horserace references; Trump
had negative policy coverage, but positive horserace coverage. Character references were also
made. Journalists’ bias was most apparent when discussing a candidate’s character because this
category seemed to be the most harsh and blunt. Kasich was described as experienced but weak.
Trump was described as unprofessional and offensive.
When journalists use the viability frame, they report mostly on horserace and polls.
Because the media provides more news about horserace, citizens will not know the actual policy
positions of each candidate. The lack of information about the candidates can lead people to not
vote because of feeling uninformed. Also, when readers are bombarded with articles about the
same candidate being so far ahead in the polls, citizens can assume that their votes will not
affect the outcome of the election. As a result, citizens will not seek out the necessary
information to make an educated vote because there will be no point. By making the primaries
out to be a competition instead of a serious event, the media loses its credibility and citizens
become more cynical to the election process as a whole.
The limitation of this study is that it included only transcripts from Fox News Network,
instead of transcripts from the Fox News Station as a whole. Because of this, Lou Dobbs
Tonight was used as a source multiple times, and so his guests and his personal opinion on the
candidates could have skewed the results.
