New York Times front-page headlines, 2008 vs 2016, by Lion of the Blogosphere.

There’s a dramatic difference in the coverage of the Obama transition vs. the Trump transition.

The Obama transition was actually not covered that much on the front page. On most days, the front page has no story about Obama. On the other hand, this year, just about every day there’s a front-page story about the Trump transition.

When the Obama transition was mentioned on the front page, the headlines contained positive words, or just-the-facts. On the other hand, every Trump headline contains negative words.
