Here's what I'm thinking. Half the country voted for Trump. I would guess about half the country consumes conservative media. (Fox, talk radio, drudge)
I imagine the people that voted for Trump and consume conservative media, probably feel about CNN the same way liberals feel about Fox. (Because, as the Harvard study shows, the CNN coverage of Trump is overwhelmingly negative)
They are either sitting there not caring or for some reason they are not compelled to complain about it.
There is a basic logic problem with your thought on the Harvard study though: negative coverage does not necessarily mean bias. You would agree, I think, that Kim Kardashian deserved 80% negative coverage, and that media isn't being unfair to her.
Based on Trump's honestly, behavior, and promises versus accomplishments in his first 100 days, I think you might agree that it might be entirely possible that his 'grade' compared to past presidents, both Democratic and Republican, is far far lower, warranting only 20% positive coverage.
