So much for liberal bias.

In study, evidence of liberal-bias bias - Los Angeles Times

Quote:
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.
but..
Quote:
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.
But I am guessing the right will continue to blast the media for giving more media time to Obama than McCain.. But is that not exactly what they should be doing considering most of the comments are negative? That has to help McCain loads!

Re: So much for liberal bias.

The CMPA have themselves been accused of conservative bias, given right wing funding. Their evidence should therefore be lapped up by the right winger on here
