Two professors at Indiana University have concluded that ABC, NBC, and CBS favored Republicans in election coverage from 1992 - 2004. Of course, they only found this "bias" when they turned the volume off. Proving once again you can come to nearly any statistically valid conclusion if you manipulate the right variables. Never mind when you turned the volume on they rarely said anything nice about republicans.

Oh - they are still evaluating the 2008 elections. Any more doubters that our universities are all run by extreme left-wingers?

That first photo shows 2008 candidates. I wonder when they'll do a study on the past election.

I think they spent too much time smoking pot at the local frat house before doing the study!

Hear no evil, see no evil...

The lesson from today's university is....

If I plug my ears I won't know there was a bias all along.

Well, I guess this goes to show that it's cool to dismiss research that doesn't produce findings aligned with a specific worldview.
Let's hear it for selectivity!

Grabe and Bucy found the volume of news coverage focusing exclusively on each party -- one measure of media bias -- favored Republicans. Their research found there were more single-party stories about Republicans overall and in each election year except 1992.

well that's it.

the MSM spent a lot of time trashing republicans .. proof positive that there is a pro-republican bias

When asked what shoe should be on the statue of Michael Jordan (http://air-jordan-sneaker.com/air-jordan-9-ix/Nike-Air-Jordan-9(white-treasure-orchid).aspx)in front of the United Center in Chicago, Tinker said the Air Jordan IX (http://air-jordan-sneaker.com/air-jordan-9-ix/Nike-Air-Jordan-9(red-white).aspx), because the shoe represented MJ being a “global superstar”. The Jordan 9 came equipped with dynamic-Fit inner bootie, encapsulated Air-Sole unit (forefoot), large volume Air-Sole unit (heel), polyurethane midsole and “one-pull” lacing system.
