In each of these three groups, it is possible to identify the outlet that produced the largest share of the content studied. In <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/2017\/10\/02\/trump-first-100-days-methodology\/\">this study<\/a>, the volume of content from any single outlet depends on a number of factors, including each outlet\u2019s format, the amount of content produced and audience size. For outlets with an audience that leans to the right, one brand, Fox News, weighs particularly heavy because the study had fewer outlets that appealed to a right-leaning audience. For this reason, Fox News accounted for nearly half (49%) of all stories in this outlet group. CNN, one of seven more mixed-audience outlets, accounted for a little more than a third (37%) of all coverage in this group. While MSNBC had the greatest number of stories from any outlet with a left-leaning audience, it accounted for just 16% of the coverage, largely because there were 12 outlets in this group \u2013 more than the other two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand how Fox News, CNN and MSNBC affected totals for each outlet group, researchers examined their coverage alongside the other news media included in the study.
