Kerry, Cold for Bush

NEW YORK, March 11, 2004 - Mainstream news organizations may "filter" the news, as President George W. Bush claimed late last year, but not to omit good stories from their Iraq coverage, but to broadcast more negative news about the president himself, according to a report released today by MediaChannel.org and Media Tenor.
The report reveals a strong negative cast to ABC, CBS and NBC news coverage of the president thus far in 2004. Meanwhile, Senator John Kerry, Bush's certain opponent for November, has received more positive coverage by the same three networks.
According to data compiled for MediaChannel.org by international media monitoring firm Media Tenor, network news broadcasts in January and February contained on average nearly three times more negative news statements about President Bush than about Senator John Kerry.

Once the real John Kerry is known, all that fence sitting will disappear into bigger support for Bush. Kerry is Howard Dean without the charisma. If Kerry imploded, we wouldn't know! He always sounds dour.

A propensity to be honest and a capacity to think is hard to come by on the left.

Remember...we can always e-mail, snail mail, fax, call, or smoke signal to the major networks and COMPLAIN!!! As a matter of fact, I believe that's just what I'll do right now.

This is the last paragraph in the article:
"MediaChannel earlier this week shared the data via fax with the anchors and executives at NBC Nightly News, ABC World News Tonight and CBS Evening News. They have yet to reply to requests for comment."

I really think Brit Hume is going to vote for Bush. ;)The networks drove me to the right and away from the TV many years ago. I can now watch TV again thanks to technology and Fox News.
For that, I will be forever grateful to Rupert and engineers everywhere.

Check this out. It was always ridiculous but now a left leaning media watchdog has quantified it.

Isn't it about time for Dan the Man Rather to retire? How old is he anyway? (Burkett, author of STOLEN VALOR, really gives the reader the moxy on Rather and his fraudulent practices.)

PBS six o'clock news tonight: the reason Kerry had to attack Pres. Bush for months on end during the primary season, when traditionally, RATS usually attack each other, is because right wing HATE internet groups, such as Drudge and Others (Guess who), terrified Kerry into preemptive action against the president. Ah, the power of Rush, Jim Robinson and the internet.

I'm so glad you posted this. I heard it on Fox, too, but thought Brian Wilson said the information came from Mediachallenge.org. LOL. Boy, did I hear wrong. MediaChallenge.org is a democrat site, a supporter of Moveon.
