AP still insists media favors Obama

No wonder the Associated Press keeps losing newspapers. They're bugfuck delusional.

For the second time in as many weeks, the AP has reported some study claiming television news organizations are more favorable to Obama than to McCain. Obviously that doesn't include newswires, because the AP's hit piece against Obama's aunt would have bent the needle to the right quite a bit.

The AP cites a study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs "proving" a pro-Obama bias. What it doesn't tell you is that the CMPA was founded by conservatives. What it also doesn't tell you is that the CMPA reported that the TV media has a pro-McCain bias just a few months ago, even though the CMPA was conceived as a conservative organ.

The AP seriously thinks a Brit Hume shitcast is more accurate and balanced than anything else on TV?

That the Assholciated Press keeps reporting studies like this disproves the very point they're trying to make. Their point has long been that the media favors Democrats over Republicans - but the fact that the AP keeps reporting this fallacy disproves it. If the media didn't favor Republicans, it wouldn't keep falsely accusing itself of favoring Democrats.

The AP's story discredits itself just by being reported.

The media has a nice racket: They can favor Republicans, then report that they're not doing so, because they're the media.

In 2004, the media often made it look like Bush was the only candidate who was even running.

Since right-wing hack Dean Singleton took the reins, it's hard to trust anything the AP says anymore. But the AP has a near-monopoly in the American newswire biz. Its biggest U.S. competitor is probably UPI, but UPI's share of the business is miniscule after it got taken over by Sun Myung Moon (who promptly ruined it).

In BushWorld, that's considered balance.
