Did anyone else catch this story? Although I've been paying more attention to the news lately, I only caught the first minute or so of this story. Some independent firm said that for the last while there's been an obvious bias shown in the news, with something like 78% positive stories for Dems, and I think 12% for Republicans? I don't remember for sure, so don't hold me to those numbers, but it was a big difference.
I found it suprising that they would be that obvious about it.

I think it was biased that they even came up with 12%.Around 1%Dems would be unbiased.
In case anyone has forgotten, the Republicans are in charge of everything: the House, the Senate, the Executive Branch, the Judiciary and all executive branch appointees.
How could you find any bad stories on the Democrats when they don't have any control over anything that's happening.
And how could you not find a ton of bad stories on the party in power, the Republicans, when they've practically set a historic record for corruption, when the economy is circling the drain (a 1.6% GDP is not an economy that's "strong, and getting stronger"), a huge and rising national debt, a housing bubble that has burst, a War in Iraq that's turned into a complete disaster and is destroying our military, and a party leader who still wants to essentially "stay the course"?
Yes, the media in general has pulled out all the stops this go-around, with unprecidented bias in an attempt to get their Democratic friends elected. It's a joke.

Does anyone have a cite for this article or are we going to sit around talking about it when it may not even exist or may have been a study by the Media Research Center (which would mean it is a complete load of crap)?

RE: Media Bias?
I think the media just follows public opinion. Things aren't going well in Iraq and our foreign policy is in trouble according to many people. Dissatisfaction with the war has turned many Republicans and most Democrats against the Bush administration. I feel the pressure is on this administration to rectify the problems so they have a chance in 08. This should be good news to all those who feel the troops need to come home sooner than later. I can't imagine the GOP is willing to continue along this path especially after the mid term elections.

I reckon if anyone is interested enough they'll look it up. I want to say it was something like the Heartland Institute, but like I said from the get-go I don't remember.
Not that it takes a lot of research, or even intelligence, to see the bias. I saw comments on CNN and at least one or two more of the big news stations saying "let's move on" after about 2 days into the Kerry slander, yet they were still running stories and MJF interviews 10 days after Rush hurt his feelings. A celebrity's ego, at least one that is supporting the Dems, is much more important than a sitting congressman slurring our troops--at least that seems to be the case with the "mainstream" media.

Aren't you part of the media Ben?
Isn't Heartland the group that has a site debunking global warming and has a EXXOn exec on it's board of directors and takes alot of money from them. It also does the same thing with Tobacco money and then down plays second hand smoke?
