"Liberal" Media, Indeed


George Mason University's Center for Media and Public Affairs, which has tracked election coverage for several decades, has issued a study proving what we already knew: the "main stream" broadcast media (NBC, CBS, and ABC) has been much more negative in its reporting on Barack Obama than St. John McBarbecue in the 6 weeks since the head-to-head- match up began. Fox (aka GOP-TV) was not included in the study since it's not a credible news organization. The results? Reporting on Obama was 78% negative , while reporting on St. John was 57% negative.

So, the next time we hear how biased the "liberal" media is, we have a steaming cup to offer you.
