Another study proves media's GOP bias

Some national or regional news organizations are so singularly dedicated to advancing the same propaganda over and over that I wonder if the next icon to add to the key for this blog should be one for media bias.

Now yet another study has proven that election coverage by the TV networks has favored Republicans.

Gee, ya think?

The Indiana University study covered ABC, CBS, and NBC from 1992 through 2004. In each and every one of these 4 elections, coverage was biased in favor of the GOP.

One of the researchers says this bias isn't because journalists actually want to favor Republicans - but because they're afraid of being accused of a liberal bias. (This despite the fact that Harry Truman and Adlai Stevenson noted the media's Republican bias as far back as the 1940s and 1950s.) Maybe it's true that most journalists don't wish to favor the GOP. But media corporations clearly do. It's impossible for the media's conservative tilt to be so pervasive without deliberate manipulation at very high levels.

I've yet to see this story reported anywhere except on IU's website. That the media won't cover the story is very proof of the media's bias!

This should also put a lid on Sarah Palin's continuing demagoguery in which she incessantly blames the media for her public idiocy.
