bytor2112 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 And according to a new Pew Research Center poll, we are behaving...like fans. On domestic press, it showed that "President Barack Obama has enjoyed substantially more positive media coverage than either Bill Clinton or George W. Bush during their first months in the White House" with "roughly twice as much" Obama coverage about his "personal or leadership qualities" than was the case for either previous president.Media bias.....yep. more here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moksha Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hey the room used by Fox News may be vacant. It might smell bad, but you know those elephants. Besides, Glen Beck's tears may have washed away some of the refuse. Might want to flush any capsules Rush left behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalShadow Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Yes, some of the media have a pro-Obama bias and some of the media have an anti-Obama bias, like for instance the sources you link to :) It's hardly news that news sources are biased because they are businesses trying to get more viewers by catering to a particular audience.

The San Francisco Chronicle endorsed Obama for President. I don't think they are a conservative news organization.....which is where this story is from.

If there were truly such a universal media bias toward Obama, I find it hard to believe you would be able to maintain your multiple anti-Obama links per day that we were discussing earlier :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the links to Newsmax or Drudge are actually stories from the AP and other sources...but that is to be no more....R.I.P. 06/09/2009. I probably spend more time at CATO than anywhere else......I am really libertarian in my political views. I will post this at another thread as well. Much has been said regarding Bytor's threads....some of it not very kind. Such is life.Since May 6th 2009, I have started 53 threads. ( based on a quick count) 49 of these threads included links to news stories. Of the 49 links, 13 mentioned Obama in the title and not all of the titles were negative. I posted links from the following news sources:Wall Street Journal: 13 timesNews Max: 9 timesAssociated Press: 5 timesNew York Times: 2 timesLos Angelos Times: 2 timesTelegraph.co. 2 timesUSA Today 1 timeWashington Times 1 timeMormon Zone 1 timeBloomberg 1 timeSan Francisco Chronicle 1 timeLDS Curch News 1 timeJerusalem Post 1 timeLife Magazine 1 timePravda 1 timeWashington Post 1 timeReuters 1 timeCBS news 1 timeNew York Post 1 timeBreitbart 1 timeEconomist 1 timeI have highlighted the links that are widely considered to be liberal or definitely not conservative. Nearly half the links, (9). Threads with Obama's name in the title must stick out more than the others.__________________ Edited June 10, 2009 by bytor2112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
