    STUDY FINDS MEDIA ACTUALLY BIASED

    A new study by from the Project for Excellence in Journalism has found that the media coverage during the presidential debates was much more favorable to The Poodle than it was the president. Be still my heart.....really? You swear?

    During the two weeks sampled, more than half of all the Bush stories were negative in tone, while only one-quarter of the Kerry stories were. Imagine that! This must come as such a shock to the media, who just can't imagine there is such a thing as media bias.

    One needs only to tune into the CBS Evening Kerry with Dan Rather every evening to catch the daily half hour of Bush-bashing. The broadcast networks' evening newscasts (with their viewership dropping like a rock) continue to cling to their very liberal reporting, while outlets like Fox News continue to grow. Sooner or later their parent companies, no doubt interested in making a profit, will either cancel their broadcast or make them change the content. Maybe.

    Despite the overwhelming evidence of media bias, people still deny it. Then again, there are people who believe the Earth is flat, the holocaust never happened and the Apollo moon landing was faked.

    I did a study and found that I agree that the media is biased and that includes FoxNews. There are newspapers that are conservative and liberal.
    There are talk shows that are conservative and few that are liberal.

    Joe, the difference is that talk shows make no bones about their bias.

    CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN...all these claim to be unbiased.

    Indeed. It is quite amusing that as much as some want to wring their hands about how Fox News is not unbiased they fail to recognize the left of center bias of every other broadcast outlet.

    I'm not saying they are not biased. I can see how some would view them that way.
    Just like I view FoxNews as Bush's personal news media.

    I'm not denying it..and I'm not saying I don't like it either, but I do like a more balanced views from all the reporters.
