The one with one-sided coverage

Wait - hold it. Are you saying that the media favors one over another? "Shocker."

A study from the Center for Media and Public Affairs and Chapman University was released yesterday (4/27/09), showing the gross indulgence of the liberal media in their favorite socialist President (and associated cabinet... and House Speaker... and majority Congress). Yikes, that's scary. OK, that's not ALL the study showed...

So, the CMPA documents the differences between coverage on Clinton, G.W. Bush, and Obama.
Comparison of 1st 50 days in office.
Obama: 28hrs
Bush: 8hrs

ABC, NBC, CBS opinions:
Clinton: 44% positive
Bush: 33% positive
Obama: 58% positive

New York Times opinions:
Obama: 73% positive on their front page spreads



Another study put out 10/30/08 on the election coverage shows another disgusting contrast. This covers ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX evening news casts (combined average).
Obama/Biden: 65% positive, 35% negative
McCain/Palin: 31% positive, 69% negative

Doesn't it just make you sick? I thought "journalism" is supposed to be unbiased. It's a free country - favor who you choose to favor - but don't call it journalism... don't put it out there as unbiased news.
