Study: Coverage of McCain Much More Negative Than That of Obama

Media coverage of John McCain has been heavily unfavorable since the political conventions, more than three times as negative as the portrayal of Barack Obama, a new study says.

Fifty-seven percent of the print and broadcast stories about the Republican nominee were decidedly negative, the Project for Excellence in Journalism says in a report out today, while 14 percent were positive. The McCain campaign has repeatedly complained that the mainstream media are biased toward the senator from Illinois.

Obama's coverage was more balanced during the six-week period from Sept. 8 through last Thursday, with 36 percent of the stories clearly positive, 35 percent neutral or mixed and 29 percent negative.

You mean they have to do a study to discover the obvious?

Let's help them out.  Hey Project for Excellence in Journalism, in 2 years the media will be more favorable towards Democrats than Republicans.  And then 2 years after that it'll also be true,  And in other 2 years, it'll still be true.  Now you can save yourself the time.

Was discussing the media being in the bag for Obama with someone...  They said I had no basis for that claim.   :lmao:
