Networks Run More Cain 'Scandal' Stories in a Week Than They Did Obama's Ties to Ayers, Rezko

As NewsBusters reported Monday, the broadcast network news outlets of ABC, CBS and NBC ran a total of 84 stories on the sexual harassment allegations against Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain in the week following Politico publishing its hit piece.

That is more coverage than they gave to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's connections to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, convicted real estate developer Tony Rezko, or America-hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright throughout the entire campaign.

According to LexisNexis, from February 2007 when Obama announced his candidacy to Election Day 2008, ABC ran 20 stories on Ayers, CBS did thirteen, and NBC aired 8 for a total of 41.

On Rezko, the numbers were ABC 22, and CBS and NBC both doing nine for a total of 40.

The left and the MSM were behind this “story” all along.

They have a job to do and a Black Conservative can not be allowed to succeed.

On a slightly different tack, I was watching DirecTV's '8 news channels on screen at the same time' this morning and caught a great commercial on the Fast & Furious cover up on MSNBC! Great Job whoever put that on - we need more of that.

Yeah, FReepers are trying to keep up with the number of "Cain Harassment" threads.
