When then-President Trump ordered a strike that killed two leaders of two terrorist organizations with zero collateral damage, many in the media, academia, and Hollywood immediately condemned it as impulsive and dangerous.

The study in contrasts underscores just how differently the two presidents’ actions are filtered through the media and academia prisms.
