If anyone suggests that these people really believe what they are saying, just ignore them. No matter how leftist these people are they can’t be that stupid.

They are lying and they know they are lying.

Are we talking about the very same news outlets who labeled Bill Clinton “the Comeback Kid” in 1992 after he lost the New Hampshire Primary?

This “study” proves more about these two professors than it does about the MSM political biases.

To say the media favored the GOP in 1992 is just dopey. And in 2004 CBS tried to “fix” an election.

Their research found there were more single-party stories about Republicans overall and in each election year except 1992.

A lot of those stories were attack pieces.

By contrast, they created a warm fuzz around Obama.

If you just look at quantity, you probably will find more about the Republicans because the media spent more time attacking them.

It didn't need as much time to create that warm blurry cocoon around Barack.

Too much information might arouse a skeptical mood in the public, so the less said the better.

It is obvious to me what is going on.

You and I know the truth, but the sheeple don’t.

so...they know all they have to do is write a fake ‘study’, and then report it over and over again until it is accepted as truth. Who will question it..? the media? they will report this as gospel-like revelation

A lie told often enough becomes the truth - this is propoganda 101

We don't think this is journalists conspiring to favor Republicans," says Indiana University's Maria Elizabeth Grabe, who wrote "Image Bite Politics" with Erik Bucy. "We think they're just so beat up and tired of being accused of a liberal bias that they unknowingly give Republicans the benefit in coverage."

On the other hand Maria,we think you just happen to have shit for brains. Same for your faggie friend Erik.

Sorry twerps. D-.

I grew up in Bloomington, IU is a very liberal kind of place. I would expect something like this from there. Independent thinkers need not apply.
