The Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University, where researchers have tracked network news content for two decades, found that ABC, NBC and CBS were tougher on Obama than on Republican John McCain during the first six weeks of the general-election campaign.Doesn't prove anything I didn't already know and I have stated that many times. After all, the media bias against Barack Obama is definitely not news.
You read it right: tougher on the Democrat.
During the evening news, the majority of statements from reporters and anchors on all three networks are neutral, the center found. And when network news people ventured opinions in recent weeks, 28% of the statements were positive for Obama and 72% negative.
Network reporting also tilted against McCain, but far less dramatically, with 43% of the statements positive and 57% negative, according to the Washington-based media center.
The pass the 'mainstream' media have given John McCain on all of his lies, misinformation and simple ignorance, is ridiculous.
Now there are more statistical facts that confirmed what a lot of us have known for a long time. The 'bias' isn't a liberal bias.
